Emergency Department Throughput Evaluation
Consulting Services | Clinical Operations | Emergency Department Throughput EvaluationReduce Wait Times in Your ED.
Emergency departments generate 30 to 45 percent of admissions and revenue for hospitals and ancillary services. Community Standards estimates that a typical ED should be able to manage a range of 1,500 to 1,800 visits per hospital bed, depending on throughput processes.
Expedited, high-quality service in your ED is vital to your organization’s image. Proper documentation and charge capture are vital to its viability.
