Emergency department process flow improvement based on efficient architectural layout, lean concept and post-lean simulation.Long waiting times in Emergency Departments (ED) have been an issue in Canadian hospitals for years. Many factors have contributed to the excessive waiting time, including the ...
As the services offered by EDs increase and the management process becomes more complicated, patients stay in EDs for longer, and EDs become more crowded [1]. On the other hand, the service given by the hospital's emergency department is highly manifested in the quality of care and ...
The article presents an emergency department (ED) process-improvement cost model developed that will enable healthcare leaders to evaluate the anticipated cost savings and/or revenue increases resulting from a process-improvement project and ensure the anticipated time savings results in an acceptable cos...
Acknowledgements Contributions Funding Conflict of interest References Background An emergency department is typically a place of high activity where practitioners care for unanticipated presentations, which yields a flow culture so that actions that secure available beds are prioritised by the practitioners....

Emergency Department Triage Triage is a system of clinical risk management employed in emergency departments worldwide to manage patient flow safely when clinical needs exceed capacity. It promulgates a system that delivers a teachable, auditable method of assigning clinical priority in emergency settings...
The focus is on simulation research, as this technique is most suitable to capture the randomness and complexity of patient flow through the ED. Because of the importance of efficient ED operations and the general recognition, and worsening, of the crowding problem, the amount of research keeps ...
