Critical care in the emergency department
European Journal of Emergency Medicine, 10/20/09
O'Connor G et al. – The median score from the 69 patients was 19 points per patient. Applying TISS–28 methodology, the authors estimated that 3 h 13 min nursing time would be spent on a single critically ill ED patient, with a TISS score of 19. This is an indicator of the high levels of personnel resources required for these patients in the ED. ED–validated models to quantify nursing and medical staff resources used across the spectrum of ED care is needed, so that staffing resources can be planned and allocated to match service demands.
