Measuring Overcrowding in a Large Academic Tertiary Care Pediatric Emergency Department
Modified NEDOCS is positively associated with ED LOS, LWBS, and 72-hour return visits, consistent with adult data. Further investigation is needed to elucidate the association between mNEDOCS and HLOS. This study illustrates the utility of mNEDOCS as a measure of overcrowding in a pediatric ED.
