Ambulance patient offload delays in the emergency department have been determined to be harmful to patients, costly to the emergency medical service companies, and stressful for the ED staff. To date, research has only proposed costly and risky options to address this issue. This study aimed to develop an individualized plan for an emergency department to reduce their ambulance patient offloading times without additional staff or physical space.
