Emergency Department Door to Discharge Times.

After implementing an onboarding process for new physician hires, there was a statistically significant decrease in D2D times at one of the microhospital emergency departments. Thus, an onboarding process may represent a simple, cost-effective technique that emergency departments can use to reduce D2D times and prevent overcrowding. Future work may evaluate the efficacy of such processes in non-microhospital emergency department settings.
