Quality Improvement Proposal
Health care is an essential part of everyone's life as human beings. Quality healthcare must always be provided to ensure that patient's health needs are met amicably. As a result, if a society does not have adequate and effective healthcare, it is vulnerable to harmful vices like destitution, high death rates, poor nutrition, and deaths resulting from terrible living conditions. Securing top-notch care in all healthcare facilities is a federal and state obligation. A high-quality healthcare system necessitates a variety of inputs from the facilities to ensure consistent and high-quality care. Other aspects that impact healthcare quality is institution administration, monetary and non-resources; the number of healthcare professionals; level of medical qualifications and experience; technology; staff well-being, and regulatory and legal issues. In order to deliver the best healthcare possible, healthcare institutions will implement numerous quality improvement programs based on evidence-based practices.

Hospitals that do not provide emergency services are required by evidence-based practice to show a prominent external sign or notice at the main entrance declaring this and offering the location of the nearest facility that does. The establishment of international criteria for access to emergency units serves as a guide for the goal of universal health care by 2030. When a hospital receives many unanticipated patient emergencies that require immediate attention at a specific time, the issue of prolonged emergency waiting times emerges. These occurrences take place at the exact moment. Patients who have been involved in accidents, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, or just a routine hospital visit may be considered emergency cases simultaneously. Hospitals should have adequate procedures to guarantee that emergencies are handled quickly and appropriately.
The Need and The Expected Outcome
The facility's Emergency Department requires a quality improvement project. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, emergency room visits in hospitals have increased by 20% in the last decade. In the same period, the number of facilities with an ER has dropped by 15%. The overpopulation of Emergency Departments has been primarily due to these two issues. This issue ne...
