Description

Aim: Focused action plan to decrease observation patients’ length of stay (LOS) supporting increased hospital bed capacity. The goal is for decision to discharge as observation or admission occurring under 23 hours of placement. This reduction in LOS will result in expanded site capacity, decreasing holding hours for all admitted and observation patients bed placement. Observation LOS at other observation units at Wyandotte Hospital from October 2022-November 2023 average is at 48.14 hours vs. CDU Observation LOS at 16.35 hours. These actions will support nursing/provider satisfaction, increase Emergency Department (ED) capacity to greater serve our community and facilitate more time, safe, efficient and equitable care for our patients.
