Abstract

The need to keep patients moving through emergency departments safely and effectively has never been more apparent. High-sensitivity troponin analysis allows more timely discharges for low-risk chest pain patients directly from the emergency department and reduces the number of observations patients. This will, in turn, allow other patients to move through the department more quickly and improve flow in the hospital as a whole. Join us to learn how to increase efficiency in your emergency department processes.
