Abstract
With ED volume increasing, the number of patients presenting to the emergency department with psychiatric problems is growing. Concurrently, the quantity of available inpatient psychiatric beds is decreasing, which is contributing to an increased length of stay in the emergency department. These issues lead to expanded utilization of staff and resources and delays in the initiation of definitive psychiatric care. The purpose of this project was to relocate psychiatric patients from the emergency department to a safe, therapeutic area while freeing ED services for other patients.
