The impact of interprofessional collaboration on hospital wait times and length of stays: insights from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS)
Strengthening IPC and effectively managing high-urgency admissions may help reduce HWT. Further research is needed to explore why IPC is linked to longer hospital stays and how to optimize resource allocation in stepdown units. These insights hold prospects to guide strategies for improving hospital efficiency and patient experiences.
