Emergency department overcrowding in Canada: What are the issues and what can be done?

 The four-part CADTH health technology assessment series on Canadian emergency department (ED) overcrowding is the first national, comprehensive study of the issue. It is designed to help Canadian policy makers, hospital and ED administrators, and health care researchers better understand the nature of ED overcrowding and what they can do about it. The reports look at: 1. Measuring overcrowding in EDs; 2. Data collection on patients in EDs; 3. Frequency, determinants, and impact of overcrowding in EDs; and 4. Interventions to reduce ED overcrowding.
