Popis: | Emergency department (ED) crowding continues to be a major challenge and has important ramifications for patient care quality. One strategy to decrease ED crowding has been to implement alternative pathways to traditional hospital admission. Through a survey-based retrospective cohort study, we aimed to assess the patient experience for those who agreed to transfer and admission to an affiliated community hospital from a large, academic center’s ED. In all, 85% of participants rated their overall experience as either great or good, 92% did not find it hard to make the decision to be transferred, and 95% found the transfer process itself to be easy. |
