How do you know if your emergency department performance problem is truly urgent or just feels that way? Vizient's Brianna Motley puts it simply: start with the benchmark. https://viz.inc/4bqmOnJ If your average length of stay is out of sync with similar EDs, that gap tells you how serious the issue really is. From there, the work gets practical: 1️⃣ Identify the conditions driving volume 2️⃣ Align staffing to real arrival patterns 3️⃣ Improve flow from triage to admission With ED volumes expected to increase, is your department prepared to keep up? https://viz.inc/4bqmOnJ Via Repertoire Magazine and Brianna Motley, vice president of intelligence strategy and delivery for Vizient, Inc.
