Health, Wellness, and BeautyWorkflow Management3MediumEmergency Department Staff$ implied
Emergency department staff experience delays when transferring stable patients to floor units because floor nurses are often unavailable, causing backups in the ED and preventing timely care for new patients.
Current hospital workflows lack real-time visibility into floor nurse availability and standardized handoff protocols for stable patients, leading to inefficient patient transfers and ED bottlenecks.
