Long Emergency Department (ED) wait times represent a key point for quality improvement in many healthcare systems. A delayed ED disposition decision may lead to increased length of hospital stay, healthcare cost, and mortality. The objective of this resident-driven quality improvement (QI) intervention was to determine if a standardized resident admission protocol could reduce the ‘decision-to-admit’ (DTA) time of patients being assessed for admission to internal medicine (IM) at 3 tertiary care teaching hospitals.
