- The COVID-19 pandemic had a notable impact on emergency department operations, affecting nursing processes, triage accuracy, and patient wait times, which are crucial for enhancing patient outcomes.
- This study compared data from 224 electronic medical records, focusing on differences in triage accuracy and wait times before and during the pandemic across similar sociodemographic and clinical profiles.
- Findings showed high triage accuracy, minor changes in nursing wait times, decreased physician wait times, and improved documentation during the pandemic, highlighting areas for future research and better pandemic preparedness strategies.
Radiology referral quality impacts patient care, yet factors influencing quality are poorly understood. This study assessed the quality of computed tomography (CT) referrals, identified associated characteristics, and evaluated the ESR-iGuide clinical decision support tool's ability to optimize referrals. A retrospective review analyzed 300 consecutive CT referrals from an acute care hospital.
