Patterns in California Ambulance Patient Offload Times by Local Emergency Medical Services. Delays are not unique to Australia or the UK. #EMS #ramping #accessblock jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

ED #overcrowding & #accessblock is a challenge everywhere!

140 in an ED and 60+ waiting just before the night shift starts.

This picture is similar across Oz

This is why I left the U.K. (which is in as bad or worse a situation).

Why are Govs not dealing with ramping, access block, crowding?

Expert in-reach for unscheduled care?

It sounds like Dr. Naso & Dr. Schirippa have something to offer in person to make our system better.

Hospital occupancy might be a proven metric for chronic ED risk but should it be used as a measure of real-time #accessblock or an acute trigger for escalation?

If insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, what are we going to do to change our rhetoric? @JudkinsSimon @preexcitation13 @AWalterPerry @MMorphett #EDOvercrowding #Accessblock #patientflow #hospitalavoidance

Lindsay Baker does not disappoint. The funniest and most passionate talk I have ever heard on #changemanagement #accessblock #EDovercrowding Our hospital executive could learn a thing or two. #EMSA18

We need to get bureaucrats to understand that the #EmergencyDepartment manages and filters the risk of the entire hospital. And #accessblock decreases our ability to do this effectively when we cannot decant stable patients to another area of the hospital #EMSA18

We need to get bureaucrats to know when #EmergencyPhysicians adds value to patient care and when rest of hospital does. Being satisfied they are in the general vicinity of the hospital achieves nothing. #EMSA18 #accessblock

#Accessblock is predominantly a burden on #EDnursing #resources the ED doctors have already done most of the work (waiting for inpatient teams to do theirs). #EMSA18

Megan Brooks. Director of nRAH explaining how you articulate the concept of #ED #accessblock to people who don’t work in the #ED #EMSA18
