Our Emergency Department Consulting Process

Assess Operation

We begin with an in-depth, on-site assessment performed by our emergency department consulting team and other essential personnel. During this phase, we review key areas of operation, including:

  • Patient Acuity
  • Chart Audits
  • Patient Demographics
  • Procedures
  • Medical Staff Interaction
  • Lab Processes
  • Radiology and Diagnostics
  • Patient Interactions
  • Patient Wait Times
  • Patient Satisfaction Scores

Establish ED Goals

Next, our emergency department consulting experts evaluate all information to determine operational goals, such as target patient wait times, target satisfaction scores, and the development of clinical pathways.

Develop Action Plan

With goals established, we then work with you to develop concrete steps to achieve them. The action plan outlines and prioritizes deliverables with responsibilities assigned to key team members. Ongoing evaluation and assessment is also essential to ensure that operational efficiencies are being maintained.

Consulting Beyond the ED

At Premier, we also provide experienced consulting services for correctional medicine, occupational medicine, EMS operations, and hospitalist services. With experts in each of these fields, we can offer you deep insights that will help you achieve your unique operational goals.
