Abstract
Some hospital emergency departments (EDs) suffer from prolonged patient wait times, which decreases hospital productivity. The factors influencing normal ED patient wait times are therefore crucial for hospital administrators to be aware of. An emergency severity index (ESI) and patient flow model for emergency departments were both tested in this causal comparison study, which was founded in the academic framework for business process optimization. Through the use of computer-generated reports, archival data records for one week from the ED of the Bahria International Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan were censused for an ED REU model for patient flow. The results of quantitative descriptive investigation showed that the patient flow model had a considerable temporal effect. The ability to decrease patient wait times while enhancing patient happiness and health outcomes is one of the social change implications. A quantitative study would produce data that would assist medical staff by shortening the wait times for patients.
