A comprehensive understanding of patient profile in the ED and factors influencing care is essential for the hospital to ensure sufficient resources and skilled emergency medicine physicians are available 24/7. By enhancing services in the ED, reducing patient waiting times and improving TAT, the overall efficiency of services can be improved. This leads to provision of timely quality care to patients and ultimately improves their outcomes.
