Measuring and Improving ED Speed
MEDS, October 31, 2011
Emergency department visits are already long, and they're getting longer. According to the 2010 Emergency Department Pulse Report from Press Ganey Associates, Inc., the average emergency room visit last year averaged four hours and seven minutes. It's the longest time they've ever recorded, a full 30 minutes longer than their first report in 2002.
