To measure the contribution of clinical assistants (CAs) to departmental flow and length of stay.
An observational study comparing key performance indicators (KPIs) between shifts with and without assistants.
A total of 122 shifts were included from 1 November to 31 December 2021. There was no difference in the proportion of patients who were seen by a doctor within 1 h, ambulance offload times, or 4-h departure metrics (regardless of non-admitted, admitted, or short stay status).
CAs do not have a demonstrable impact on ambulance offload times, cubicle availability, or 4-h KPIs.
评估临床助理(CAs)对科室流程和住院时间的贡献。
一项观察性研究,比较有助理和无助理班次之间的关键绩效指标(KPIs)。
纳入了2021年11月1日至12月31日期间的122个班次。在1小时内见到医生的患者比例、救护车卸载时间或4小时出院指标(无论未入院、已入院或短期住院状态)方面没有差异。
临床助理对救护车卸载时间、病房可用性或4小时关键绩效指标没有明显影响。
