Revision as of 18:44, 30 July 2025

A patient is considered parked in ER if they are a direct admit who gets stuck in the ER.

Does that make this one of the Indicators? If so we should apply Template:Reporting Indicators so this is linked and tracked appropriately. If it isn't a separate indicator and only a component of [[ICU Interfacility Transfer] then it should be added to the template there.
