The effect of in-room registration on emergency department length of stay

Impact of Rapid Entry and Accelerated Care at Triage on Reducing Emergency Department Patient Wait Times, Lengths of Stay, and Rate of Left Without Being Seen

“…Moreover, although we used bar coding and software integration, there are other methods that have been described to initiate similar processes of rapid entry and quick bedside registration in the ED that may positively affect performance, as it did in our study. 10 Second, we conducted our data evaluation for 6 to 12 months after change implementation. It is possible that our improvements in leave before being seen, length of stay, and wait times would have diminished had we investigated beyond the 1-year period.…”

Besides the implementation of standing orders, numerous studies demonstrate that other changes in throughput, such as modifications to capacity, triage, laboratory testing, staffing, and registration, improve ED LOS [7,8,[24][25][26][27]. Along the same lines, the placement of a physician or midlevel provider at triage is an alternative strategy to triage standing orders [5,28].…”
