Original Research: Breaking Through the Bottleneck: Acuity Adaptability in Noncritical Trauma Care

CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of an acuity-adaptable model on a dedicated noncritical trauma unit improved throughput efficiency and resource utilization without sacrificing quality of care. As hospitals continue to face increasing demand for services as well as numerous barriers to meeting such demand, leaders remain challenged to find innovative ways to optimize operational efficiency and resource utilization while ensuring delivery of high-quality care. The findings of this study demonstrate the value of the acuity-adaptable model in achieving these goals in a noncritical trauma care population.PMID:38511707 | DOI:10.1097/01.NAJ.0001010176.21591.80
