The current delays, long waits, leaving without being treated, decreased revenue collection from the ED unit, and reduced patient satisfaction scores have negatively portrayed the hospital’s reputation to the public. As a result, the daily patient visits have continued to decrease as people attribute the facility to poor emergency care services delivery. All these complications result from the use of combined data resources and manual entry status updates when tracking patient records. This manual tracking cannot meet the demand for many patients and leads to overcrowding due to and reduced patient flow in the ED. Therefore, there is a need to install an automatic patient tracking system to increase the flow. |

Evidence-Based Practice Project: PICOT Paper
Generally, a high level of patient satisfaction for the clients in the emergency department (ED) is vital, especially at this time when the healthcare system is shifting towards patient-centered care. Prakash (2010) notes that patient satisfaction levels significantly impact on medical malpractice claims, patient retention, and clinical outcomes. That is, it affects quality healthcare’s timely, efficient, and patient-centered delivery, making it both a proxy but a very effective key indicator for measuring the hospitals and doctors’ success. Consequently, supporting the improvements of patient satisfaction levels can positively affect several healthcare organizations’ components, such as preventive possible malpractice lawsuits, securing a positive local reputation, and enhancing patient retention rates. Thus, there is an increased need to develop strategies to improve ED patient’s satisfaction with the provided care services. Increasingly, the use of real-time location systems (RTLS) by hospitals to track patients, instead of relying on the traditional, manually-entered status updates, is increasingly being viewed as a better strategy to decrease the number or rate of Left Without Being Treated (LWBT) patients, and thus, improve ED patient’s satisfaction levels and hospital’s revenue collection (Boulos & Berry, 2012). Thus, the paper will explore whether the utilization of RTLS in the hospital’s ED, compared to manually-entered status updates to tract patients, help decrease the rate of LWBT and to raise revenue collection within 6 months, for ED patients with decreasing satisfaction levels with the provided healthcare services.
A wide array of factors is responsible for the decreased rate of satisfaction levels amongst ED patients. The current delays, long waits, leaving without being treated, decreased revenue collection from the ED unit, and reduced patient satisfaction scores have negatively portrayed the hospital’s reputation to the public. As a result, the daily patient visits have continued to decrease as people attribute the facility to poor emergency care services delivery. All these complications result from the use of combined data resources and manual entry status updates when tracking patient records. This manual tracking cannot meet the demand for many patients and leads to overcrowding due to and reduced patient flow in the ED. Therefore, there is a need to install an automatic patient tracking system to increase the flow.
Patient satisfaction level, especially for hospital’s emergency department (ED) is increasingly becoming a key health quality indicator. Patient satisfaction regards the degree to which patients are happy with their healthcare (Heath, 2016). Patient satisfaction levels is a care quality measure and gives healthcare providers information on the various aspects of health and medicine, such as their care’s effectiveness and their empathy levels. According to Xesfingi & Vozikis (2016), patient satisfaction is a healthcare quality’s measure given that it provides insight into the provider’s success at realizing the patient’s care expectations, and is also a key patients’ perspective behavioral intention’s determinant. While satisfaction has always been an important factor when delivering any form of a service, it has recently gained prominence or primacy within the healthcare space, especially at this time when the healthcare industry is fast shifting towards patient-centered models. According to Vocera’s 2016 ‘Rise of the Chief Experience Officer’ report, about 64% of the interviewed healthcare professionals stated that their healthcare organizations prioritize patient satisfaction in a similar extent to which they value clinical workflow and patient safety improvements. Increasingly, patients are demanding a larger claim in their healthcare, with the expectation that their healthcare providers will attain a certain service level.
Healthcare quality is increasingly becoming a universal issue, making the healthcare industry to undergo rapid transformations. According to Asamrew, Endris and Tadesse (2020), the rapid transformations are primarily driven by the need to realize its patient population’s ever-increasing needs and demands, instead of the traditional professional practice standards-based needs. In their study of a patient’s satisfaction score with a specialize hospital in Ethiopia, the researchers determined that patient-healthcare provider interaction and general facility amenity-related factors explained about 96.4% of the variability in the net overall satisfaction score. The hospital’s inpatient pharmacy services, the availability of laboratory, radiology and pain management services, and good quality services provided by the hospital physicians positively influenced patient satisfaction scores. Additionally, availability of accommodation rooms, toilet cleanliness, and dietary services had significant association with the patient satisfaction levels. In yet another study, Son and Yom (2017) classifies the factors impacting on ED patient’s satisfaction levels into three interrelated forces, including predisposing characteristics, enabling resources and need. First, the predisposing characteristics include demographic factors (age, sex, marital status and past illness), social structure (education and employment), and belief (subjective health, perceived social class and attitude towards health service – quality and status). Secondly, then enabling resources include family (income and type of health insurance) and community (type of hospital, mode of arrival, time taken, delayed or missed treatment and frequency of visiting the ED). Finally, the need factors include reason for visit and service received. Joe Greskoviak, president and chief operating officer at Press Ganey, categorizes the factors into communication, provider empathy, and care coordination (Heath, 2016). All these points are interrelated and affect each other.
Delayed or missed treatments have become a notorious phenomenon in most hospitals. In a recent research by Asheim et al., (2019), it was discovered that the prolonged ED stay was associated with a higher probability of being discharged from the ED without admission to the hospital and that there was no significant difference in hospitalization length for the admitted patients. Thus, the researchers concluded that prolonged ED stay was not associated with increased risk of death. However, many studies have determined that delayed or missed treatments are strongly associated with decreased patient satisfaction levels and reduced revenue for hospitals. Furthermore, ED overcrowding also reduced emergency care quality by prolonged patient total length of stay, increased rate of patients left without being seen, ambulance diversion, decreased patient satisfaction, decreased revenue collection, and etcetera (Wang et al., 2017). According to Wand (2019), the lengthy documentation and assessment processes, timeliness of consultations and delays in decisions about patient disposition in ED can lead to reduced ED patient satisfaction levels and frustrations by ED staff and hospital executives. As noted above, the complications are primarily caused by the hospital’s reliance on combined data resources and manual entry status updates when tracking patients and their records – all of which cannot meet the healthcare service demand for the many patients, leading to reduced patient flow in the ED, overcrowding, and delayed and missed treatments.
Technology can significantly help hospitals solve the mentioned complications. Primarily, by installing a RTLS, an automatic patient tracking system in the ED, hospitals can significantly increase the patient flow in their EDs (Drazen & Rhoads, 2011). According to Garie Fallo, the Western Reserve Hospital’s CNO, a technology suite can help improve care efficiency in EDs and boost patient satisfaction scores by 90% through streamlining the clinical workflow (Heath, 2016). With an automatic patient tracking system, patients would not need to stop at any stage for manual tracking, stipulating that there would be neither delays, prolonged wait times on stretchers, nor family waiting. Rather, the process would appear more satisfied, with a very seamless move to the ED room. Thus, right from their arrival, the patients would have a higher satisfaction with the provided services. The side-effect of the high satisfaction scores, according to a review of various peer-reviewed publications on the importance of patient satisfaction carried out by Prakash (2010), includes improved patient loyalty and retention, reduced vulnerability to price wars or bargains, consistent improvement in revenue and profitability, increased staff morale with reduced staff turnover, reduced risk or malpractice suits and accreditation issues, and increase personal and professional satisfaction. Consequently, by installing the proposed RTLS, hospitals can improve the ED patient’s satisfaction levels. Specifically, RTLS, compared to the manually-entered status updates to tract patients, help decrease the rate of LWBT and to raise revenue collection within 6 months, for ED patients with decreasing satisfaction levels with the provided healthcare services.

SCORE A+ WITH HELP FROM OUR PROFESSIONAL WRITERS – Evidence-Based Practice Proposal Project: Implementation Plan
We will process your orders through multiple stages and checks to ensure that what we are delivering to you, in the end, is something that is precise as you envisioned it. All of our essay writing service products are 100% original, ensuring that there is no plagiarism in them. The sources are well-researched and cited so it is interesting. Our goal is to help as many students as possible with their assignments, i.e. our prices are affordable and services premium.
- Discussion Questions (DQ)
Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, including a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two-sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
- Weekly Participation
Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.
- APA Format and Writing Quality
Familiarize yourself with the APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
- Use of Direct Quotes
I discourage over-utilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Master’s level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source. Evidence-Based Practice Proposal Project: Implementation Plan
- LopesWrite Policy
For assignments that need to be submitted to Lopes Write, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
- Late Policy
The university’s policy on late assignments is a 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect. I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension. As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
- Communication
Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class. Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
