Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
At a national level, emergency departments (EDs) serve as the portal of hospital admission for 75% of hospitalized children. The remainder occur via direct admission, defined as admission to hospital without first receiving care in the hospital's ED. The overall goals of this research are to: (i) implement pediatric direct admission systems at 3 hospitals, (ii) compare the timeliness of healthcare delivery for children who are admitted directly and through emergency departments, (iii) determine which patient populations achieve the greatest benefits from direct admission, and (iv) identify barriers and facilitators of successful implementation.
