Abstract

Emergency department (ED) boarding is associated with patient care and safety risks. However, reports show it is worsening over time. There is an abundance of research on the effects of boarding on patients, staff, and emergency department operations. However, there is a clear paucity of research into the financial effects of boarding. We sought to measure the cost of boarding code stroke patients using time-driven activity-based costing and compare how this cost related to the overall cost of inpatient care.
