Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, United States Department of Health and Human Services, Washington, DC 20201, United States.

Pre-to-post COVID-19 pandemic trends in time from emergency department arrival to inpatient floor arrival: Door to floor time.

Am J Emerg Med

December 2024

Department of Internal Medicine (Section of General Internal Medicine, Program for Hospital Medicine), Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA; Department of Pediatrics (Section of Hospital Medicine), Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA.

Boarding of admitted patients in the Emergency Department (ED) changes both the setting and teams providing care during the initial phase of admissions. We measured the waiting time from ED door arrival to inpatient floor arrival for 17,944 admissions to internal medicine services over a 5-year period from 2018 to 2023 and propose this as a metric for the total delay in care associated with ED boarding, termed "Door to Floor" (DTF) time. We find a sustained increase as well as significant seasonal and day-of-the-week variation in DTF times.
