"Identifying Information: Description","This indicator measures the time interval between the earlier of triage date/time or registration date/time and the date/time when a patient is discharged, transferred or leaves the emergency department (ED)."
"Background, Interpretation and Benchmarks: Rationale","Time is crucial to the effectiveness and outcome of patient care, especially for emergency patients. In conjunction with other indicators, this can be used to monitor the time patients spend in the ED until they are discharged, transferred out or leave the ED in an effort to improve the efficiency and, ultimately, the outcome of patient care.Many factors can influence the indicator results, including triage level, patient population and hospital resources."
"Background, Interpretation and Benchmarks: Interpretation","The 90th or 50th percentile of this indicator represents the maximum length of time that 90% or 50% of patients who are discharged, transferred out or leave spend in the ED.A small number is desirable."
