Impact of implementing a prioritization process on waiting time for non-scheduled surgeries in a tertiary emergency unit
Introducing a structured prioritization strategy significantly reduced waiting times and improved adherence to surgical timelines in a high-complexity emergency environment. The model proved feasible, effective, and well-accepted by multidisciplinary teams. The long-term impact of the implementation of the model could be further addressed in future studies.
