Abstract

Emergency medicine leadership may have a role in not only helping to identify successful solutions to crowding in the emergency departments (EDs), but also becoming a communication bridge between frontline workers and personnel out of the ED [1,2]. We conducted a leadership-based quality improvement (QI) program to improve boarding time of ED admissions in the Hsin-Chu branch of the National
Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) between January 2014 and December 2016. The ED director acted as the team leader, and the ED frontline workers, and the administrative personnel as members.
