Improving Time to Bleeding Disorder Treatment in the Emergency Department
By using an EHR tool, we were able to identify when during the ED visit process delays occurred, which helped us better target our interventions. Our educational-based interventions were adapted to reach our intended audiences while working around barriers related to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as high patient volumes and staff shortages. Our results show a decrease in time to factor in the ED and an increase in the PwBD receiving factor within 60 minutes of arrival time. This has been a sustainable improvement.
