ED - Arrival To Bed documentation

Identifies bottlenecks: By measuring the "arrival-to-bed" time, EDs can pinpoint areas of delay in the front-end process. If this metric is consistently high, it may indicate issues with triage, bed turnover, or registration procedures that are slowing down patient placement.

Optimizes resource management: Accurate arrival-to-bed times provide data on patient wait times and resource utilization. This data can inform staffing decisions and resource allocation, ensuring that enough staff and beds are available during peak hours.

Reduces "Left Without Being Seen" (LWBS) rates: Long wait times in the waiting room often cause patients to leave before being treated. Documenting timely bed placement is a strategy to improve patient flow and reduce LWBS rates, especially for lower-acuity patients.
