Abstract:

Adopting engineering principles of flow and collaborating with other EDs can lead to the adoption of new and effective strategies for improving your ED's ability to handle capacity challenges. One hospital system achieved a 33% improvement in the number of admissions from the ED completed in fewer than 90 minutes. Innovative tools such as "Top 10 Ways to Make Throughput Worse" result from sharing of ideas. Intranet site and regular meetings can help all participants share challenges as well as successes.
