Here's an approach that makes optimal use of space and time in the ED. It's not as easy as it sounds, however; be prepared to work hard at communications between your nurses and physicians. Take patients who potentially can be discharged quickly, put them in a room, examine them, then discharge them or put them back in a waiting room after ancillary testing. Order lab or radiology testing up front. Patients may be taken to those departments or testing is done in another area of the ED. Identifying nonurgent patients is a useful strategy for overcoming nurses' objections. One ED tried the system, but abandoned it due to volume increase.
这是一种在急诊科能充分利用空间和时间的方法。然而，这并不像听起来那么容易；要做好准备，努力在护士和医生之间进行沟通。对于那些有可能很快出院的患者，把他们安排到一个房间，进行检查，然后让他们出院，或者在辅助检查后把他们放回候诊室。提前安排实验室或放射检查。患者可能会被送往这些科室，或者检查在急诊科的其他区域进行。识别非紧急患者是克服护士反对意见的一个有用策略。一家急诊科尝试了这个系统，但由于工作量增加而放弃了它。
