| Popis: | The emergency department (ED) is by its nature inherently an environment with the potential for chaos because of the high volume and varied types of patients cared for in an ED setting. This article discusses potential system opportunities from the prehospital environment through arrival in the ED before provider evaluation. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act is reviewed in detail. Management and the reduction of risk to waiting room patients and patients who leave without being seen is explored. Description of the risks and mitigation strategies are discussed to decrease risk to patients, providers, and hospitals. |
