 For the ED Tour I will be interested in seeing how patients move through the process of registering, waiting, seeing the nurse, doctor, and being discharged. I will be paying extra attention to how often the patient and clinician is moving around, to see if that movement can be reduced by redesigning the units and/or rooms.

 From working and observing at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, I think that when a patient first comes i they register, are sorted and may go through to a fast track area. Or they may go to a central waiting room. Then they see a nurse, are placed in a patient room, and eventually a doctor arrives to see them. They may need to leave for lab or radiology tests. They are not always admitted and may sometimes be discharged directly after being initially evaluated.
