Factors Influencing Decreased Patient Wait Times In The Emergency Department

Abstract

In this paper, we are looking for a study on the development of factors affecting reducing the waiting time for patients in the emergency department, The emergency department in all hospitals is the department that receives patients who need urgent treatment because their health condition cannot bear the long wait. The main problem is that many people need treatment quickly, so we need to reduce patient waiting time. This study aims to provide the main factors that can reduce the waiting time in emergency situations. To solve this problem, we distribute a questionnaire among several payments. The result showed that there are three main factors: medical services provided in the emergency department, medical staff, as well as medical devices and equipment. Through the results, these factors were developed, and results were obtained that helped reduce the patient's waiting time in emergency departments, making emergency departments one of the fastest departments in treating patients.
