Multipurpose dashboard to monitor emergency department status

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study examines a real-time dashboard designed to display current conditions in emergency departments. It targets adult patients arriving to EDs and seeks to understand whether visibility into ED crowding can influence where and when patients seek care. No interventions are applied; data collection focuses on how the dashboard correlates with patient flow and self-presentation for non-urgent visits. The study is led by the Mario Negri Institute with collaborators across multiple Italian sites, using EDs in Torino and Vercelli as settings. Outcomes will inform whether such a tool supports more efficient ED use and crowding management.
