Emergency department provider in triage: assessing site‐specific rationale, operational feasibility, and financial impact

Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians Open, 2021
Emergency department (ED) crowding is recognized as a critical threat to patient safety, while sub‐optimal ED patient flow also contributes to reduced patient satisfaction and efficiency of care. Provider in triage (PIT) programs—which typically involve,

Buffer management to solve bed-blocking in the Netherlands, 2000-2010. Cooperation from an integrated care chain perspective as a key success factor for managing patient flows.

International Journal of Integrated Care, 2011
Introduction: Bed-blocking problems in hospitals reflect how difficult and complex it is to move patients smoothly through the chain of care. In the Netherlands, during the first decade of the 21st century, some hospitals attempted to tackle this problem

Supramaximal flow in asthmatic patients [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 1999
In normal subjects supramaximal flows (SF) are known to be correlated with flow limitation. To further understand the mechanisms involved in SF this correlation and the influence of salbutamol and methacholine administration on SF have been investigated in asthmatic subjects.Protocol A involved obtaining basal maximal expiratory flow/volume curves and ...
