The operational effectiveness of a full capacity protocol to ease crowding at an emergency department

open access: yesDecision Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Using detailed timestamp data for patient visits and laboratory test orders from the emergency department (ED) of a large, urban, teaching hospital in the United States, we examine the operational effectiveness of the full capacity protocol (FCP), a set of temporary hospital‐wide guidelines that seek to alleviate crowding at the ED.
