Emergency Department Boarding and Crowding
ACEP Provides Feedback on CMS Boarding Measure
ACEP Leads National Summit on the Boarding Crisis
It is only a matter of time
Underserved, under resourced
Yes, boarding is bad
No room to go
Bed assignment
A national issue
Timely transfer
Children's hospitals throughout the country
It's a tragedy
Without privacy
In dire straits
Boarding in the ER hallway
Snapshot
Not a safe situation
Hopeless and beaten down
Killing our patients
Patients hate it
At the breaking point
Make waves
A commitment to provide rapid care
And so they stay
Nowhere to go
35 Boarders
Verge of collapsing
Feel human
Trapped
Languishing
I hope I make it
Unsustainable
Awaiting inpatient psychiatric care
Leave without being seen
Why?
No open PICU beds
The patients overflow
Social safety net
No beds
No nurses
ED never closes
People keep coming
Dangerously Overcrowded
Getting numb
No privacy and no rest
Not safe
In the waiting room
An afterthought
New placement
Acts of bravery
No end in sight
MacGyver solutions
Life-threatening issue
Crash and burn
Skin in the game
Budget issues
Hallway beds
The new reality
Our sickest patients
No sign of easing up
Something has to be done
Killing the morale
Wait list
Severe overcrowding
No limits
Looking for beds
Diversion
No net at all
Do the math
Burnout
My last shift
Transfer
Over four weeks in the emergency department
Every available space
Since I was in Iraq
Needle in a haystack
Zero beds available
My plea
Slumped in their chair
Please do something
Waiting and waiting
Emergent conditions
Heroic efforts
Sick kids are stuck
High costs
Frightened and in pain
Rooms no bigger than closets
For days to weeks
Help needed—to say the least!
Our most vulnerable patients
Died unnoticed
In shock
A crisis!
Not uncommon
The health of our nation
Moral injury
Awaiting acceptance
Everything with nothing
Interrupting patient care
Drowning
We need help
In the hallway
No space
Psychiatric holds
Full
