Emergency Department Wait Time Improvement Report — Fall Session
Over the past six months, Meridian General Hospital's emergency department has reduced average patient wait times from 94 minutes to 61 minutes, a reduction attributed primarily to the implementation of a new triage-to-treatment protocol.
Under the revised protocol, patients presenting with non-life-threatening conditions are now evaluated by a physician assistant within the first fifteen minutes of arrival, rather than waiting for a full triage-to-bed transfer. This initial evaluation allows for faster ordering of diagnostic tests, which can then be completed while the patient waits for a treatment room to become available.
Patient satisfaction scores related to wait times rose from 58% to 79% over the same period, though scores related to overall communication with staff showed only modest improvement. Hospital administrators note that while the new protocol has significantly reduced bottlenecks during peak hours, staffing shortages during overnight shifts remain an ongoing challenge that the current improvements have not fully addressed.
