Abstract

Background: One of the most significant indicators of the evaluation of emergency centers is the calculation of waiting time for patients to receive diagnostic and therapeutic services.

Materials and Methods: This research was a cross-sectional study conducted in 2017. The study population consisted of all the patients referred to the emergency departments of educational hospitals with an emergency department in Khorramabad.

The gaps between the triage and the first visit, the first visit and the first diagnostic action, sending the first diagnostic action and the medical consultation result, and finally the medical consultation and the outcome of the medical consultation were 8. 37 minutes, 31. 27 minutes, 9. 6 hour, and 7. 38 hour respectively.
