Entering a hospital's emergency department (ED) is often overwhelming, filled with anxiety and uncertainty. Patients worry about getting the right care and if they made the right decision. The critical period between arrival and receiving care significantly impacts a hospital's reputation and patient trust. Efficient, compassionate, and timely care can make a big difference. Long wait times and poor communication can damage trust, while swift diagnoses and resolutions boost confidence. Hospital leaders are focused on reducing wait times to improve outcomes and meet CMS quality standards.

In this blog, Dr. Tony Briningstool, MD FACEP, CEO for Sound Emergency Medicine, breaks down how implementing customized and collaborative solutions to shorten ED wait times can transform a waiting room from a patient prison to an efficient throughput checkpoint.
