Abstract

Background: The velocity of providing services in health centers is crucial to reduce mortality and adverse outcomes. Objectives: The present study aimed at determining the Waiting Time from entering the Emergency Department (ED) up to physician visiting based on congestion in the triple shift at Shahid Mohammadi Hospital in Bandar Abbas, Iran. Methods: The current cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted in 2019 on 1285 subjects selected from three shifts. The data collection tools included demographic data and standard triage forms, as well as a timetable with a stopwatch. The time between patient arrival and physician visit was recorded. SPSS software version 21 was employed to analyze the data. Results: The highest percentage of patients, 65. 1% (n = 837), was non-traumatic, 38. 98% (n = 501) referred during the evening shift, and 47. 54% (n = 611) were related to the triage level 3. The maximum average Waiting Time from the beginning to the end of the triage was 4. 46, and up to the physician, the visit was 12. 8 minutes. Waiting Time from entering ED up to physician first visit in terms of gender, refer to ED, and cause of referral statistically divulged a significant difference (P < 0. 05). Estimation of the maximum congestion in the department was from 16: 00 to 20: 00, which showed a significant difference with other day times (P < 0. 05). Conclusions: The average Waiting Time for patients was higher than the global standard. The interventions based on the maximum congestion in ED can be effective in reducing patient Waiting Time.
