Post 1: Crowding and delayed waiting times not only hinder the quality of care delivered
by the healthcare organization but also administers life threatening consequences to the health of
the patient due to increased susceptibility of clinical errors. Indeed, as rightly stated, lack of
mitigation of delayed waiting times exerts the greatest negative impact on the emergency
department where patients pose high threat of succumbing to their injuries due to traumatic
events or health conditions (Kuo et al. 2016). To alleviate crowding and prolonged waiting time
issues, administration of triaging protocols coupled with time monitoring and enhanced staff
recruitment pose to be innovative suggestions in addition to implementation of educational and
training frameworks (Forshaw et al. 2016). However, the existing resources of the healthcare
organizations along with the financial expenditures required to be incurred for implementation of
above innovations in terms health informatics and staff recruitment are what remains to be
questioned and hence, must be evaluated by healthcare organizations carefully prior to execution
(Munavalli et al. 2019).
