Abated crowding by fast-tracking the Throughput component of the ED for patients in no need of hospitalization with competency managed personnel.

Background: Emergency department (ED) crowding is a major patient safety concern and has a negative impact on healthcare systems and healthcare providers. We hypothesized that it would be feasible to control crowding by employing a multifaceted approach consisting of systematically fast-tracking patients who are mostly not in need of a hospital stay as assessed by an initial nurse and treated by decision competent physicians.

Methods: Data from 120,901 patients registered in a secondary care ED from the 4t quarter of 2021 to the 1st quarter of 2024 was drawn from the electronic health record's data warehouse using the SAP Web Intelligence tool and processed in the Python programming language.

Existing Data Sources in Clinical Epidemiology: Database of Community Acquired Infections Requiring Hospital Referral in Eastern Denmark (DCAIED) 2018-2021.

Infectious diseases are major health care challenges globally and a prevalent cause of admission to emergency departments. Epidemiologic characteristics and outcomes based on population level data are limited. The Database of Community Acquired Infections in Eastern Denmark (DCAIED) 2018-2021 was established with the aim to explore and estimate the population characteristics, and outcomes of patients suffering from community acquired infections at the emergency departments in the Capital Region and the Zealand Region of Denmark using data from electronic medical records.

Pulmonary artery pressure as a method for assessing hydration status in an anuric hemodialysis patient - a case report.

Background: Setting the dry weight and maintaining fluid balance is still a difficult challenge in dialysis patients. Overhydration is common and associated with increased cardiac morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary hypertension is associated with volume overload in end-stage renal dysfunction patients.

Readmittance rates within seven days are preferable in quality measuring of emergency departments.

Introduction: The objective of this article was to qualify and test the recommendations of a national Danish report. We conducted an investigation on the readmittance rate as well as reasons for readmittance in a patient cohort defined through the process of internal audit at the Emergency Department at Zealand University Hospital, Køge, Denmark.

Methods: A retrospective, descriptive study of admitted patients in November 2014, including a total of 1,440 patients.
