my experience over the past 20 years indicates that, in general, the best
way to reduce ED stay times is to hire more nurses for the floors and
special  care units.

One critical case 'boarded' for 8 hours waiting for the next shift (or for
an 'on call' nurse to arrive) knocks your average door to bed time out the
window, no matter how well you are doing otherwise.

Another  question: What are folks ideas on ED dwell time? and thoughts about
ED to  ICU times. Our goal is less than 2 hours for both ED dwell time and
time to  ICU but our average right now is 4 hours. Thoughts? also thoughts
on
shortening the time to get to  ICU.
