Reducing Length of Stay in the Emergency Department
Reducing Length of Stay in the Emergency Department: Analyzing the Factors and Quality Improvement Interventions
Emergency department (ED) crowding has become an international challenge in the recent decades.
Length of stay (LOS) is a useful marker to monitor ED crowding. Searching for the possible causes and reducing barriers may have the greatest impact on EDLOS.
Therefore, the investigators assembled a multidisciplinary team for improvement of the ED process, to undergo assessments of ED patient flow with the spirit of lean-sigma methodologies. The objectives of this study were to evaluate a Lean-sigma-based initiative to lessen EDLOS.

Detaljerad beskrivning
Lean aims to smooth out the workflow and to eliminate wastes. In the ED settings, lean principles can display the process of the ED patient flow. Six sigma, a complementary strategy, has the merit to compensate the potential weakness of Lean through a data-driven process. Currently, a combination of Lean and Six sigma methodologies develops to solve the problems of workflow.
It became clear that concurrent multifaceted interventions were needed to reduce EDLOS. Therefore, the investigators assembled a multidisciplinary quality improvement team for improvement of the ED process, to undergo assessments of ED patient flow with the spirit of lean-sigma methodologies. The objectives of this study were to evaluate a Lean-sigma-based initiative to lessen EDLOS.
