Care time: the amount of time the provider spent with the patient in the ED. There needs to be a standardized field this can be put in that can be pulled by a report. ALL hospitals use these to come up with their yearly cost reports. Right now we review each ER providers note, get the care time and put it in an excel spreadsheet, it is uncecessarily time consuming. With some of the newer updates it is now easy to go to the ER Tracking Board > Notifications > down arrow icon > Throughput times- Physician Decision to Admit Date/Time - this jets to the ED Log where they put their decision to admit date and time, why not put a field for care time?
