Be Our Guest, Put Our Service to the Test: Challenges With Critically Ill Patients in the ED

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video discusses the issue of boarding in emergency departments and its impact on healthcare. Boarding refers to patients remaining in the emergency department when a bed and resources are not available in the hospital, leading to delays in care and poor outcomes. The transcript highlights data showing an increase in critical care admissions and a rise in acuity of patients. It also discusses the impact of COVID-19 on boarding, with hospitalizations increasing and emergency department volumes not fully recovering. Proposed solutions include telemedicine, discharge efficiency, early palliative care, hospital at home programs, and addressing staffing issues.
