Go with the Flow: Strategies to Optimize ED Throughput

Crowded ED? Long wait times? Burned-out staff? You're not alone—and you're not powerless. Join seasoned emergency operations expert Deb Delaney, DNP, MHA, RN, CEN for a tactical session designed to help your team optimize throughput, reduce bottlenecks, and create space for better care.

In this practical, no-fluff webinar, Dr. Delaney walks through two game-changing strategies: Vertical Zones (also known as Split Flow) and the Flow Facilitator role. You’ll learn how to segment care based on acuity, maximize your limited space without construction, and streamline the patient journey from arrival to discharge—even when the back end is full.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to design, implement, and evaluate a Vertical Zone for faster care
• What makes a strong Flow Facilitator and how this role transforms throughput
• How to repurpose existing rooms to increase capacity without adding beds
• Key metrics to track for pilot success and sustainable improvements
• How to build buy-in and run pilot programs that actually work (even with naysayers!)

Dr. Delaney also shares real-world examples, templates, and practical advice to help you move from chaos to control—without sacrificing quality, safety, or morale.
