Resilient performance of emergency department: Patterns, models and strategies
Resilient healthcare theory as a lens to research emergency department operations: a protocol for a scoping review
TLDR
This scoping review will be conducted between March 2022 until May 2022 and seeks to examine the international literature for available reports that have adopted RHC theory to study ED operations and identify approaches used and proposed benefits.

Adapting to the unexpected: Problematic work situations and resilience strategies in healthcare institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic’s first wave
Resilience in a prehospital setting - a new focus for future research?
  • E. Jeppesen, S. Wiig
  • Medicine, Business
    Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine
  • 2020
TLDR
A better understanding is given of how the concept and inclusion of resilience can inspire a new approach for future research in prehospital settings to build and support resilient systems and processes in a prehospital setting.
Rethinking preparedness planning in disaster emergency care: lessons from a beyond-surge-capacity event
TLDR
It is indicated that solely depending on policies or guidelines for preparedness plans did not contribute real readiness to MCIs and hospitals can use the study's findings and proposal to rethink preparedness planning for the future beyond surge capacity events.
Measurement of resilience potentials in emergency departments: Applications of a tailored resilience assessment grid
Measurement of resilience potential - development of a resilience assessment grid for emergency departments
TLDR
The ED-RAG represents a snapshot of EDs’resilience under specific conditions and might be performed multiple times by a single hospital to monitor the directions and contents of improvement that can supplement conventional safety management toward resilience.
An integrated statistical model of Emergency Department length of stay informed by Resilient Health Care principles
Coping With a Mass Casualty: Insights into a Hospital’s Emergency Response and Adaptations After the Formosa Fun Coast Dust Explosion
TLDR
The hospital’s ability to adapt was based on anticipation during uncertainty and coordination across roles and units to keep pace with varying demands to adapt to beyond-surge capacity incident is essential to effective disaster response.

Demand and capacity planning in the emergency department: how to do it
TLDR
An in-depth analysis of demand and capacity for an emergency department in the UK is undertaken, which draws on techniques from other industries to help improve capacity planning.
Implementing resilience engineering for healthcare quality improvement using the CARE model: a feasibility study protocol
TLDR
The aim of this study is to test the feasibility of translating RE concepts into practical methods to improve quality by designing, implementing and evaluating interventions based on RE theory in emergency and older people’s care in a large London teaching hospital.
Improving service quality by understanding emergency department flow: a White Paper and position statement prepared for the American Academy of Emergency Medicine.
Six ways not to improve patient flow: a qualitative study
TLDR
It is suggested that smooth flow depends on linking a defined population to appropriate capacity by means of an efficient process; flawed initiatives reflected failure to consider one or more of these essential elements.
Designing the accident and emergency system: lessons from manufacturing
  • P. Walley
  • Medicine
    Emergency medicine journal : EMJ
  • 2003
TLDR
Clinicians would find that modern manufacturing theories produce more acceptable designs of systems and good quality is seen as a necessary pre-requisite of fast, efficient services.
Innovations to reduce demand and crowding in emergency care; a review study
TLDR
In this review, efforts that have been ongoing in the UK and France for over a decade as well as specific programs to target the rising needs of emergency care in both England and France are described.
Translating tensions into safe practices through dynamic trade-offs : the secret second handover
TLDR
The Resilience of Everyday Clinical Work breaks new ground by analysing everyday work situations in primary, secondary, and tertiary care to identify and describe the fundamental strategies that clinicians everywhere have developed and use with a fluency that belies the demands to be resolved and the dilemmas to be balanced.
A Safety-II Perspective on Organisational Learning in Healthcare Organisations
  • M. Sujan
  • Medicine, Political Science
    International journal of health policy and management
  • 2018
TLDR
It is concluded that organisational learning in healthcare organisations should provide deeper understanding of the adaptations healthcare workers make in their everyday clinical work, and that learning and improvement approaches should be more democratic by promoting participation and ownership among a broader range of stakeholders as well as patients.

  • 2014
TLDR
A targeted search of key journals was conducted to examine implementation science in the quality and safety domain applying PRISMA procedures and eight success factors of implementation emerged: preparing for change, capacity for implementation-people, capacityFor implementation-setting, types of implementation, resources, leverage, desirable implementation enabling features, and sustainability.
Emergency department crowding: towards an agenda for evidence-based intervention
TLDR
The review used a ‘conceptual synthesis’ approach to identify knowledge and opinion around the issue of ED crowding, not just effective interventions, to identify evidence-based solutions.
