Nursing staff in the Emergency Department (ED) work long hours and often face resourcing challenges, such as the need to work with a leaner overhead while catering to an overcrowded ED.
To improve operations in the ED, the nursing team is seeking innovative solutions to automate the transport of patients partially or fully from nursing triage to other parts of the ED (i.e., radiology). This will reduce the manpower requirements for what is undoubtedly a manual and labour-intensive process that occurs daily.
