Each additional 10 minutes of boarding in the ED was associated with a 0.8-minute increase in door-to-provider time, on the basis of data from nearly 900 facilities presented at the ACEP22.
Each additional 10 minutes of boarding in the emergency department was associated with a 0.8-minute increase in door-to-provider time,at the American College of Emergency Physicians 2022 Scientific Assembly.
"It was important to understand these trends prior to 2019-2020 because the COVID-19 pandemic and national nursing shortage have drastically worsened boarding. This study provided a framework for future studies on boarding across ED’s nationally since the start of the pandemic," she added. The data set included 892 EDs; freestanding and pediatric EDs as well as those with missing boarding data were excluded.
Overall, D2P and LOSD increased by 0.8 minutes and 2.8 minutes, respectively, for each additional 10 minutes of boarding time. LBTC rates increased by 0.1% for each additional 10 minutes of boarding time. "Overall, we expected that there would be an association between boarding and reductions in ED intake and operational efficiency," said Napoli in an interview."However, we were surprised the relationship continued to be as strong in a national study of nearly a quarter of all EDs, as it did in our prior local study," he said."Every 10 minutes of boarding in an ED is associated with an approximate 0.1% increase in LWBS and a 3-minute increase in LOSD.
