Abstract

Richardson (2006) defined ED crowding as patient occupancy at, or greater than, the 75th percentile for a given time period.¹This definition has been used by dividing the day into six 4-hour intervals. For each time interval, the percent of total capacity for the ED was calculated. If the ED was over 75% occupied, it was considered crowded for the corresponding time interval. Other researchers have based their conceptual definition on the Crowding Resources Task Force of 2002 which states that crowding is a “situation in which the identified need for emergency services outstrips available resources in the ED”.²According to the Task Force, this situation occurs when the number of ED patients outnumbers the staffed ED treatment beds and wait times exceed a reasonable period.³
