• TS: Patient Flow Success Strategies, Part 2: Harborview Medical Center[®] [REF: GB, LDR, MDx, RNx] The Source, July 2013, Vol 11, #6, Pg 1 This is the second article in a planned series of three that address the issue of patient flow. This one again uses a case study success to look specifically at ED management of psychiatric patients. It describes the importance of effective triage, good relationships between medical and psychiatric aspects of an ED, along with its approach of designing interview rooms and staffing along the same lines as its inpatient psychiatric units. It also provides some useful benchmarks. For example, after triage to the psych side, Harborview Medical Center requires a detailed assessment by a psychiatric nurse or psychiatrist with follow-up by a psychiatrist in either case within 30 minutes of that assessment. |
