Every patient comes in hopes to get immediate attention and everything to progress quickly.
While it is the desire of every emergency team member to provide that to each patient, the staffing level or lack of exam rooms might require them to prioritize patients that come in. Therefore, as it would be in any system, it is important to determine the demands of the patient load. This project will discuss the sufficiency of the current staffing and number of beds especially during peak activity times. Process Description Patients are brought to emergency room by ambulance or they provide their own transportation. As the patients check in, their condition is assessed, and accordingly they are taken into one of the exam rooms right away or asked to wait until medical staff is available for help.
