Can NPs Help Reduce Emergency Department Wait Times?
Emergency wait times have long been a concern and NPs may be able to assist in reducing these times. Four members of SANP met with Graham Fast from the Saskatchewan Health Quality Council on January 17th. Mr. Fast is the lead on the ED Waits and Patient Flow Team from the Provincial Kaizen Operational Team. Lia Boxall (President SANP), Maureen Klenk (President CAAPN and SANP member), Barb Warkentin (Past President SANP), and Leland Sommer (President Elect SANP) met with Mr. Fast to look at ways NPs may be able to help.
