“In this economic climate, as more and more Americans face unemployment and subsequent loss of private health insurance, it is no real surprise that ED overcrowding is on the rise and becoming problematic for healthcare professionals, including those who responded to this survey. This white paper provides the chance to learn how other organizations are handling overcrowding in the emergency room without adding staff as well as how they are overcoming the challenges and obstacles this problem presents."
