Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Nursing Research

Background:

  • Emergency department (ED) overcrowding is a global challenge affecting healthcare services.
  • Rising patient visits and persistent issues lead to staff challenges and decreased patient satisfaction.
  • Hospital performance is influenced more by external factors than internal ones.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore obstacles and challenges affecting ED quality indicators (QIs).
  • To analyze variations in QIs across five domains: infrastructure, population, workflow, workforce, and administration.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted.
  • A questionnaire with standardized measures was administered to 180 nurses.
  • The study was performed at a tertiary emergency center in Saudi Arabia.

Main Results:

  • 75.5% of nurses identified crowded waiting rooms as the primary factor impacting QIs.
  • Identified challenges include bed capacity, triage workflow, peak volume, non-emergency visits, and staffing shortages.
  • Significant differences in responses were noted based on education, specialty, and ED experience.

Conclusions:

  • Infrastructure, workflow, population, workforce, and nursing administration critically affect ED patient flow.
  • Understanding these factors is vital for improving ED performance and informing policy.
  • Optimizing ED resources requires strategic decision-making and consideration of resource restrictions.
