Can the Point-Of-Care Chemistry Test (POCT) Solve the Emergency Department (ED) Crowding? — POCTED

Crowding Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Central Laboratory and Point-of-care Chemistry Test for Solving the Emergency Department Crowding

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The hypothesis of this study that the Point-Of-Care Chemistry Test (POCT) may shorten Emergency Department (ED) length of stay (LOS).

Clinical Trial Description

ED crowding is one of the most serious problems in ED. POCT has shorter turn-around time compared to centralized laboratory system. If POCT introduce to ED, it may help to shorten LOS of ED patients. ;
