Although a standard process for moving patients throughout a healthcare organization exists, literature shows that healthcare organizations prioritizing patient throughput do better than the rest. Patient outcomes improve dramatically when patient throughput is at the top of the list. According to Manuel (2023), the average wait time for a patient in the emergency Department to go to their room after admission is 90 minutes, and 120 minutes to be discharged from the ED. Unfortunately, outlier hospitals with significant patient throughput processes skew the mean. This means that other hospitals are well above these times.
