Better Emergency Care, Faster:

Care delays in the emergency department are associated with higher rates of patients leaving without being seen (LWBS), emergency room overcrowding, and higher morbidity.

Many hospitals are relying on outdated communication technologies to facilitate their workflows and inadvertently create avoidable delays. Emergency departments can improve patient throughput and speed up clinical workflows with clinical communication and collaboration technology.

In this eBook, follow the journey of a trauma patient through the ER to learn how hospitals can improve patient flow and speed the following emergency department workflows:

• • Trauma response pre-admit integration with EMS
  • Physician consultation notification in the emergency room
  • Stat labs and radiology workflow
  • Patient transfers from the emergency department to inpatient unit
