About

 

Overcrowding in the Emergency Department is reaching alarming rates, with 50% of all EDs operating at or above their space capacity. Overcrowding reduces patient care quality and satisfaction, increases wait times, and limits the capacity of the hospital for disaster response. PredMed researchers have developed real-time models that can accurately predict which patients will be admitted to the hospital from the ED, moments after their arrival at the ED. Proactively and intelligently managing the flow of patients into the Emergency Department provides hospitals with shorter wait times and improved outcomes.
