Executive Summary
The emergency department receives a large number of patients throughout the year. The patients
look forward to receiving quick and efficient healthcare services from healthcare providers.

implementing the goals. Additionally, the author develops an action plan for implementing the
solutions in the emergency department.

Bradley, 2010). It takes almost 135 minutes for a healthcare provider to discharge a patient from
the department (Horwitz, Green, & Bradley, 2010). It takes approximately 96 minutes on
average for a patient to receive hospital admission from the emergency department to their
wards.The long periods spent waiting for medical care in the emergency department implies
crowding, a situation that is costly and compromising the quality of healthcare services that
patients receive. One strategy that hospital administrators can use to address this situation is
improving patient flow within the hospital. Consequently, this project's mission is to improve the
patient's attendance by contributing to their health and well-being by providing the best
