  • Title: Using a multidisciplinary CQI approach to reduce ER-to-floor admission time.
    Author: Jackson G, Andrew J.
    Journal: J Healthc Qual; 1996; 18(3):18-21. PubMed ID: 10157638.
    Abstract:
    A 110-bed community hospital used a multidisciplinary continuous quality improvement process to decrease the time needed to admit a non-critical care patient to the hospital from the emergency department (ER). The specific objective was to reduce the total amount of time needed for a patient who has entered the ER to be assigned to a bed on a designated medical/surgical unit, while at the same time maintaining quality of care and providing the patient with a pleasant atmosphere.
