And the Ugly Truth.

A Better Way: Metrics
![Page 44: Jon Morris, MD, FACEP, MBA WellStar Health Systems](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56815971550346895dc6b40d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Throughput Analysis
Neglected value of ED applications Acquire data from HEC & TB. Quarantine invalid data Report data compliance, i.e., reporting
efficacy and accuracy. Select and study throughput intervals. Identify high-yield opportunities.

The Good: Reliable ED Metrics
ERK - July 2008

The Bad: Delays in Seeing EDMD
Admitted Patients:
Patient Arrival to MD At Bedside: 61 minutesPatient in Bed to MD At Bedside: 42 minutes
![Page 49: Jon Morris, MD, FACEP, MBA WellStar Health Systems](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56815971550346895dc6b40d/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
The Ugly: Delays in Exit From ED
July 2008 EDMD Decision to Admit to Exit from ED:
Exit Phase = EDMD Decision to Admit → Patient Exit From ED
162 + 10 = 172 minutes
39-47% Average ED Patient LOS (Jan – July 2008)

Admitted ED Patients: 3 Steps
1. Get Into An ED Bed
2. Receive ED Treatment &/Or Evaluation
3. Move to Next Level of Care
![Page 54: Jon Morris, MD, FACEP, MBA WellStar Health Systems](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56815971550346895dc6b40d/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Getting Into An ED Bed:
Available ED Bed and Resources Clinical Staff, i.e., RN, tech, etc. Open Beds Patients Must Be Able To Leave
ED MD Must Be Available Appropriate ED MD Staffing
![Page 55: Jon Morris, MD, FACEP, MBA WellStar Health Systems](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56815971550346895dc6b40d/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Treatment &/Or Evaluation:
Treatment Laboratory Tests Medical Imaging Studies Consultation for Admitted Patients
ED Process Improvement Committee

Moving to the Next Level:
Receive Admitting Orders, then…
Additional ED Orders Call For Bed (Next Level Of Care) Bed Assignment Inpatient RN Staff Available to Receive
Report ED Staff Available to Move Patient

Moving to the Next Level:
Exit Phase: Begins With EDMD Decision To Admit Ends With Patient Exit From ED
158-251 minutes January – August 2008
39-47% of LOS

Cardiology Admissions
Significant variation in consult intervals exists between cardiology practices.
• Two of three cardiology practices, Practices “A” and “C,” account for 22.7% of all ED admissions. These practices almost exclusively admit only following consultation and evaluation in the ED.
• Practice “B” routinely phones in orders and evaluates the patient on the floor if they left the ED by the time they arrive.
• This is reflected in patients’ consult intervals and LOS:
