Almost 100 per cent of emergency department patients seen within four hours
There’s been ‘a steady improvement curve’ in the number of patients being seen within four hours at the Emergency Department
Despite Covid, performance of the Isle of Wight’s emergency department (ED) at St Mary’s Hospital has continued to improve.
Figures presented to the Isle of Wight NHS Trust Board last week, showed what bosses called ‘a steady improvement curve’ in the number of patients being seen within four hours at the ED.
National targets say 95 per cent of patients should be seen in the ED within four hours and while the Isle of Wight’s performance had fallen below the target before changes have been made to help meet and beat the performance indicators.
The increase in service coincides with the expected increase in passenger demand due to the easing of lockdown restrictions from Monday including the reopening of indoor hospitality, attractions and hotels
