This paper describes a study of a single ED wherein the department first undertook a physical expansion (2006 Q2 to 2007 Q2) followed by a reorganization of patient flow and establishment of an RAU (2009 Q2) by the use of an interrupted time series analysis. patient flow improvement and the establishment of a rapid assessment unit (RAU) on the patient experience of care in a medium-size safety net ED. To compare the impact of ED expansion vs. Most strategies used to help improve the patient experience of care and ease emergency department (ED) crowding and diversion require additional space and personnel resources, major process improvement interventions, or a combination of both. Sayah, Assaad Lai-Becker, Melisa Kingsley-Rocker, Lisa Scott-Long, Tasha O'Connor, Kelly Lobon, Luis F The findings support arguments for hospitals to analyse patient flow at a service level to deliver optimum service improvement.Įmergency Department Expansion Versus Patient Flow Improvement: Impact on Patient Experience of Care. We also identify significantly higher choke points for Caboolture hospital as compared to other similarly sized Queensland hospitals, which suggest that patient flow here can be redesigned to operate at higher levels of occupancy without degrading flow performance. We compare these findings to a previous study that has analysed patient flow across Queensland hospitals grouped by size, and discover several differences in the interaction between rising occupancy and patient flow parameters including rates of patient flow, length of stay, and access block. The effect of weekdays and weekends on patient flow is also investigated. This paper analyses the effect of hospital occupancy on inpatient and emergency department patient flow parameters at the Caboolture hospital in Queensland, Australia, and identifies critical levels, or choke points, that result in performance decline. As hospitals turn to evidence based strategies to redesign flow, it is critical that they tailor the strategies to suit their individual service. The complexity of hospital operations ensures that one-size-fits-all solutions seldom work.
