Operation Management

The emergency department is a general point of entry to a hospital and most frequently visited by those in need of an urgent care issues. The patient’s wait time begins from the moment the patient walks into the emergency department and end by the time the patient leaves the ED. Longer wait time might lead to crowding, complications and distress to the patient and can negatively impact the organization overall quality, financially, and patient relation among other implications. Some of

Using Constant Table, we find the value of A2 for Subgroup of n=6 as A2 = 0.483

You will need to determine facility location to transportation, medical providers, dentists, community centers, grocery stories, churches, temples and other places of worship, and distance to emergency rooms; (to save money, a number of hospitals and emergency rooms have closed or are in the process of closing). That extra travel time to an emergency room might make a difference in wait time. Studies reveal that the average wait time in American hospital emergency rooms is approximately 4 hours.

And finally, by increasing funding for doctors, the waiting time in emergency rooms would decrease significantly by enabling the hospital to staff more doctors during the busy hours of the day. It would allow the hospital to staff additional doctors at night as well. These steps have been taken in some hospitals with great success. Hospitals have begun to communicate the expected wait times to their patients, one hospital even goes so far as to post waiting room times on the internet in real time, as of July 20 2007 at 19:31 the wait in the 5 hospitals listed ranged between 0 – 2 hr 40 minutes with the average being about

The ER has a variety of patients come through the department, but everything depends on the severity of the condition to whom is seen first. Patients with chest pains will be seen first rather than a patient with a stuffy nose. When the patient first walks into the facility they are greeted by the nurse at the window. The nurse then will call them in and do an assessment which is the triage part of the ED. Triage is the first person you see when you enter and the one who set you up in a room. Triage assesses the severity of the patient and they decide along with the facility's policy who should be seen first. When the patient has been assigned a room a nurse then will enter and assess the patient's condition with a more focused assessment. The nurse then will hook the patient up to the blood pressure machine with the O2 monitor. Then the nurse will take a temperature to include the assessment of

This research is trying to answer the question of how to reduce overcrowding in emergency rooms? Would people would want to access published wait times provided on the internet, and would this guide a patient make decisions on where they receive their care. The hypothesis being one, crowding maybe reduced with having upfront information, and therefore also provide increased patient satisfaction due to waiting less. Patients would have more choices available to them such as

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2017) notes the following statistics pertaining to Emergency Department (ED) visits in the United States during 2013: (a) number of visits-130.4, (b) number of injury-related visits-37.2 million, (c) number of visits per 100 persons-41.9, (d) number of ED visits resulting in hospital admission 12.2 million, (e) number of ED visits resulting in admission to critical care unit-1.5 million, (f) percent of visits with patient seen in fewer than 15 minutes-29.8%, (g) percent of visits resulting in hospital admission-9.3%, and (h) percent of visits resulting in transfer to a different (psychiatric or their) hospital-2.2%.

Every patient who visits the ER believes they have an emergency, and to them it is an emergency. In conclusion emergency room wait times can be decreased by using technology to improve efficiencies and speed up patient processing, treating patients based on the seriousness of the injury and improvement of the overall customer service and management of the hospital flow.

The subject to describe is policing organizations at various levels. The author will identify, compare, and contrast the policing function at the local, state, and federal organizational levels (CJA/484 – Criminal Justice Administration Capstone). The author will analyze how the organizational, management, administration, and operational functions at the local, state, and federal levels are similar or different and why (CJA/484 – Criminal Justice Administration Capstone). The leadership characteristics and responsibilities pertaining to each organizational level will be identified (CJA – Criminal

In this paper I discuss how holding patients in the Emergency Department (ED) has a negative effect on patients. To many patients in the ED , medication errors and patients lingering in the ED instead of being in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are the main cause of mortality and morbidity. For this assignment, I gathered information to figure out if the increased number of patients in the ED, medication errors, and the length of time ICU patients are held in the ED at Ohio Valley Medical Center (OVMC) is an actual issue that is effecting our patients. After doing a complete assessment and gathering the needed information, a plan will be put together to cut back

The emergency department (ED) is one of the busiest place in most hospital and time is very crucial in some case. A survey done in 2002, shows that 90% of Level 1 trauma center and hospital are considered over capacity with more than 300 beds and 62 % of ED considered themselves the same (Milsten, A., Klein, J., Liu, Q., Vibhakar, N., Linder, L., 2014. p.13). Some might think it is beneficial in a business aspect; however, the negative effects have more weight than the positive. As the number of population increases, the ED started to notice a correlation with the increasing crowd, which has created a delay in treatment and even some patient had to leave without being seen (LWBS) by a physician or PA. Patients being unable to see a healthcare professional in the appropriate time and LWBS have been linked to the increase in mortality, physician door to doctor time, patient

Several existing problems precipitated the creation of the triage system implemented by Kathryn Angell in an effort to deliver improved medical care. The main problem was a lack of coordination in service delivery. This lack of coordination caused excessive wait times on the order of anywhere from 23 to 40 minutes to see a nurse, 40 to 50 minutes to see a doctor, and as long as 55 minutes to get a prescription filled. The practice of all nurses being involved initially in seeing all patients caused duplication of efforts, including repeating questions and examinations, and resulted in procedural bottlenecks. Additionally, there were inconsistent levels of service and extreme variation in treatment because of the different experience

As I entered the remaining classes in my concentration, Operations Management, I realized how each particular class subject had all come together, and how each was interrelated. Each class, each subject became more important to me as I realized their importance in the role of an operations manager.
