In response to the current crisis in emergency care in Canada, CADTH is working on a series of reports to help identify factors contributing to emergency department (ED) overcrowding; identify and describe interventions that can effectively alleviate ED overcrowding; understand the impact of ED overcrowding on quality of care, patient safety, and staff and health professional learners’ well-being; and assess how ED overcrowding has changed over time.

To help inform these evidence reviews, CADTH conducted a rapid qualitative review on the impacts of ED overcrowding, access block, and boarding, as detailed through the perspectives and experiences of people engaging with ED services.
