520	3 |aThis third report examines factors associated with the flow of patients from the emergency department (ED) to the inpatient setting. Using data from a sample of hospitals from across Canada, the time from the physician’s decision to admit to the time the patient leaves the ED (referred to as .bed wait time.) is examined. The distribution of this wait time is explored with respect to patient characteristics, hospital type and volume of alternate level of care (ALC) patients. The report highlights some initiatives under way across Canada to improve patient flow and wait times in EDs, and points to “what we know” and “what we don’t know” about initiatives targeted toward patient flow from the ED to inpatient beds.
