Horsham hopital is rolling out a Timely Emergency Care Collaborative project to improve patient care and speed up treatment.
Grampians Health regional director of medicine, emergency, ICU and continuing care services Kate Pryde said the project aimed to improve patient flow.
“The current focus is to review the fast-track procedure, such as nurse-initiated x-ray and nurse-initiated analgesia (pain relief),” Ms Pryde said.
Project co-ordinator Rebecca Hudson said the priority was reducing the length of stay.
“We don’t want patients to be kept in ED for longer than necessary,” she said.
