Factors Affecting Emergency Department Crowding.
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America(2020)
Abstract
Emergency department crowding is a multifactorial issue with causes intrinsic to the emergency department and to the health care system. Understanding that the causes of emergency department crowding span this continuum allows for a more accurate analysis of its effects and a more global consideration of potential solutions. Within the emergency department, boarding of inpatients is the most appreciable effect of hospital-wide crowding, and leads to further emergency department crowding. We explore the concept of emergency department crowding, and its causes, effects, and potential strategies to overcome this problem.
