Our objective was to quantify the impact of alternate-level-of-care on hospital access block and evaluate the likely effects of multiple interventions on ED wait times.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Discrete-event simulation models were developed to simulate patient flows in EDs and acute care of six Canadian hospitals. The model was populated with administrative data from multiple sources (April 2017-March 2018). We simulated and assessed six different intervention scenarios' impact on three outcome measures: (1) time waiting for physician initial assessment, (2) time waiting for inpatient bed, and (3) patients who leave without being seen.

Increasing ED physician coverage reduced the mean time waiting for physician initial assessment (∆ 0.16-0.46 h). High-quality care transitions targeting medical patients lowered the mean time waiting for inpatient bed for all EDs (∆ 0.34-6.85 h). Reducing ED visits for family practice sensitive conditions or improving continuity of care resulted in clinically negligible reductions in wait times and patients who leave without being seen rates.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>A moderate reduction in alternate-level-of-care hospital days for medical patients could alleviate access block and reduce ED wait times, although the magnitude of reduction varies by site. Increasing ED physician staffing and aligning physician capacity with inflow demand could also decrease wait time. Operational strategies for reducing ED wait times should prioritize resolving output and throughput factors rather than input factors.</p>","PeriodicalId":55286,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine","volume":"25 7","pages":"608-616"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9994670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Modified Early Obstetric Warning System (MEOWS) is a risk stratification tool designed to predict severe maternal morbidity and mortality and has been validated for use in obstetrical wards. The objective of this study was to determine if MEOWS could accurately identify patients at risk of severe maternal morbidity and mortality in the ED setting.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This was a chart review of patients presenting to an academic tertiary care centre (annual ED census 65,000) with a postpartum complaint within 6 weeks of delivery between May 2020 and March 2022. The exposure was the presence of a trigger, defined as one severely abnormal (red) or two mildly abnormal (yellow) physiological measurements during the ED visit. The diagnostic accuracy of the tool to identify patients at risk of severe maternal morbidity severe maternal morbidity or mortality was estimated by calculating the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Two hundred and sixty-seven patients were included, of which 21 (7.9%) met the criteria for severe maternal morbidity. There were no maternal deaths. Overall, the sensitivity of the MEOWS tool was 85.7% (95% CI 63.7-97.0%), specificity was 67.9% (95% CI 61.7-73.7%), positive predictive value was 18.6% (95% CI 15.1-22.7%), and negative predictive value was 98.2% (95% CI 95.1-99.4%). Severe preeclampsia and eclampsia were the most common outcome category of severe maternal morbidity, representing 16 (76.2%) cases. Most patients (86.5%) were discharged directly from the ED, and 90.0% did not return within 30 days.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study is the first to explore the utility of MEOWS in postpartum ED patients. The presence of a MEOWS trigger at ED triage or the first ED nursing assessment was associated with severe maternal morbidity.
