2 Emergency Room Overcrowding A multi-dimensional issue, fundamental to Canadian healthcare
3 Demand >>> Supply ER overcrowding = the demand for emergency services exceeds the ability to provide care within a reasonable time (CADTH 2006)
4 Demand for ER services Not simply number of patients Volume High patient volume does not directly lead to overcrowded ERs (Schull et al. 2007) Demand is affected by the complexity and urgency of patient care, as well as the average length of stay (Drummond 2002)
5 Added complexities to demand The impact of non-urgent patients Large proportion of ER visits, yet are rarely admitted and utilize minimal resources (Schull et al. 2007) Frequent ER users Small proportion of ER users, but account for almost 15% of visits (Doupe et al. 2008) Tend to be frequent users of non-er services, have complex mental and physical health statuses Optimal strategy?
6 Supply of ER services Not an unlimited resource Community factors Alternative care and home care service availability Hospital factors Availability of admitting beds Flexibility and co-ordination within hospitals ER factors ER characteristics and policies Physician and nurse staffing Availability of acute-care beds (Schull et al. 2002)
7 A multidimensional problem will not be solved with a onedimensional solution

9 A Discussion About the Determinants of Emergency Room (Over) Crowding Malcolm Doupe, PhD Ricardo Lobato de la Faria, MD October 14, 2009
10 Key Messages ER use & crowding 1 volumes of lower acuity patients do not lead to longer ER visits. 2 Frequent users have a disproportionate number of ER visits with unique characteristics. Their impact on ER patient flow is unknown. 3 ER users and especially frequent users also visit primary care physicians. Little is known about the nature of this contact and much more evidence is needed in this area. 4. There are growing numbers of ER Success Stories leading to improved patient flow. 5. Optimizing patient flow requires a multi-dimensional system-wide approach. 6. Research in key areas is needed.
11 Presentation Outline Conceptual Framework Background Information (ER Utilization) Input - Lower acuity patients, frequent users, contacts with family physicians Throughput - Strategies used within ERs to optimize patient flow Output - Delayed Transfers out of ERs - hospitals, nursing homes, etc. Discussion
12 Conceptual Framework Asplin et al. A Conceptual Model of Emergency Room Crowding. Annals of Emergency Medicine 2003;42(2) Three interdependent components: INPUT THROUGHPUT OUTPUT Patient characteristics; Reasons for ER visit - Seriously ill & injured patients; - Referrals, desire for immediate care; - Vulnerable populations - Barriers to care. ER strategies used to care for patients - Triage and waiting process; - Stretcher use; - Diagnostics; - Boarding of inpatients. Patient disposition - Leave without seen; diversion to other ERs; - Admitted to hospital, transfers to nursing homes, home care, etc.

21 Frequent Users - What we Know 1. Account for many ER and other encounters with the health care system. 2. Patients have true multidimensional needs. Frequent User Characteristics (Source: Manitoba Centre for Health Policy, 2008) 37% - 56% live in the Winnipeg Core 25% - 70% are chronic frequent ER users 54% have co-morbid physical chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease. 55% - 85% have co-morbid mental illnesses such as depression, personality disorders and substance abuse.

22 Frequent Users - More information needed 1. How do frequent users impact ER flow / capacity to deliver care? Frequent / highly frequent users: More likely to arrive by ambulance More likely to be triaged as less/non urgent Have longer ER visits Are more likely to leave without seeing a physician Source: Manitoba Centre for Health Policy, 2008 Highly frequent users (20+ visits) tend to have longer ER stays, have more non-urgent conditions, are less likely to require hospitalization, and use fewer services such as lab test, drugs, operating rooms, etc. Ruger et al.

26 Little data available THROUGHPUT Most successes in flow have resulted from process changes in throughput Electronic tracking with interval time measurements are providing early data that can be used to measure throughput components Determined by availability of stretchers or treatment spaces at any one stage
27 Throughput factors Stretcher ownership Most ER time is spent waiting for treatment, diagnostics, clinical decisions Successes in flow by moving patients off stretchers into alternative waiting areas: St Joseph s, Guelph sites, Seven Oaks Streaming Introduction of see and treat or minor treatment streaming (including NP run areas) diminishes LOS of both minor cases and overall LOS
28 Throughput factors Culture of departments and hospitals Flow orientated culture Collective responsibility for patients waiting (Seven Oaks experience) Removing separation between waiting area and treatment area (success in St Joseph)
29 Throughput factors Clinical practice Increased use of more advanced diagnostics to meet standard with built in access delay Some decrease need for diagnostics with rules Increased use of CT scans and MRI s Physician performance variability Very little data on this area: Productivity vs quality data is non existent Direct Care hours vs total hours not yet studied
30 Throughput factors Use of department as a default clinic in tertiary centers Referral Models Reliance on consults for decision making Consulting in the academic model has built in delays Resources Those with most staff do not have the best flow Not more resources but better use of them
31 Resources in Winnipeg Community Hospitals
32 ER Length of Stay 32
33 OUTPUT % not admitted admissions are small number but little info on bed occupancy time Delays occur in discharge or transfer to next level of care Admission processes Availability of subsequent care spaces Links back to community Availability Time to set up
34 Output Some successes Linking patient back to community Building relationships and processes Strengthening primary care Delivering low intensity acute care in alternate settings Outpatient follow up tests wherever possible
35 Throughput and Output Output options seen as a major obstacle yet are less under the control of the emergency department Throughput changes may give us the most bang for our money Numerous scattered success have targeted throughput and to a lesser extent output ER care is only part of continuum of care Are there solutions in primary care?
36 Summary / Next Steps No universal solution for ER crowding best strategies will likely be tailored solutions involving multiple dimensions. A closer look at some input (primary care, frequent users) Electronic information systems understanding the successes of throughput strategies. Output solutions will be more complex and involve multiple stakeholders.
