Re moving admitted patients to ward hallways instead of ER hallways:
I think this is a great idea, though I would also suggest that EMS should be
permitted to leave stable patients in the ER waiting room rather than having
to remain with them until an ER bed is available for them, as is the current
situation. We recently had 2 operative ambulances serving a city of one
million people, as every single other EMS crew was sitting in ER waiting to
transfer their patients, and the ER was full of admitted patients waiting to
go to the floor (and the wards were full of people waiting for placement,
and the beat goes on...)
