2021, Operations Research for Health CareCitation Excerpt :The ED is a specialized medical treatment unit which deals with emergency medicine, the acute care of patients without the need of prior appointment. It is suggested in [13–15] that ED crowding is not an isolated phenomenon and appears to affect hospitals nationwide. Patients are evaluated and treated in the ED, and further treatments depend on their conditions.

2016, Operations Research for Health CareCitation Excerpt :The emergency department (ED) is often the starting point for patient flow through a hospital for unscheduled urgent care, and it is a critical bottleneck [1]. Crowding, long waiting times, and queues are well-known problems in many EDs globally [2,3]. Long waiting times not only reduce patients’ perceived quality of care, but also increase crowding which can adversely affect patients’ outcomes [4].
