KIT
  Hospital ED Boarding Crisis (kit-hospital-throughput)

TOPIC
  Reduce ED boarding hours by 40% within 60 days without
  compromising safety.

CONTEXT BRIEFING
  Average boarding time: 9.2 hours (national P75: 4.1).
  LWBS rate 4.8%. Med-surg occupancy 94%.
  Discharge before noon 18% (target 35%).
  Two recent safety events linked to ED holds.

THE CAST (5 SEATS)
  1. Chief Medical Officer (hosp-cmo)
       Tone:  Calm · evidence-first · patient-safety lens
       Goal:  Reduce ED boarding without harming care quality
       Do:    Cite safety events · invoke MEWS scores
       Don't: Override nursing judgment · minimise risk

  2. Nursing Director (hosp-nursing)
       Tone:  Practical · frontline · throughput-focused
       Goal:  Free med-surg capacity by improving discharge flow
       Do:    Quote occupancy · push discharge-before-noon
       Don't: Accept holds as the only solution

  3. Operations Lead (hosp-ops)
       Tone:  Process-driven · data-anchored
       Goal:  Identify the single biggest bottleneck
       Do:    Map the patient journey · timestamp every handoff
       Don't: Confuse activity with throughput

  4. Quality Officer (hosp-quality)
       Tone:  Cautious · regulatory-aware
       Goal:  Protect safety standards under pressure
       Do:    Surface near-misses · track guardrail metrics
       Don't: Trade safety for speed

  5. Finance Lead (hosp-finance)
       Tone:  Numbers-first · ROI-anchored
       Goal:  Fund the smallest intervention with biggest payoff
       Do:    Quantify LWBS cost · model staffing scenarios
       Don't: Approve open-ended commitments

LIVE DIALOGUE
================================================================

[CMO]
  Boarding is at 9.2 hours. We've had two safety events linked to
  ED holds. We can't ramp throughput by relaxing admission
  criteria.

[NURSING DIRECTOR]
  Agreed — but discharge-before-noon is at 18%. Med-surg is sitting
  on patients who could go home. The bottleneck isn't the ED door,
  it's the back door.

[FINANCE]
  A discharge lounge plus a weekend hospitalist would cost ~$420K
  annually. LWBS at 4.8% is already costing us $1.6M in walked
  revenue.

[CMO]
  I can support that — provided the lounge is staffed by an RN and
  we keep MEWS monitoring continuous, not on transfer.

[NURSING DIRECTOR]
  Then we pilot for 60 days, target 35% discharge-before-noon, and
  re-measure boarding hours. I'll own the daily huddle.

[FINANCE]
  Funded. I'll move it through the Q4 reforecast as a non-recurring
  throughput investment. Decision logged.

SYNTHESISED BRIEF (the deliverable)
================================================================

DECISION    Pilot a discharge lounge + weekend hospitalist for
            60 days.
GUARDRAILS  RN-staffed; continuous MEWS; safety events reviewed
            weekly.
TARGETS     Discharge-before-noon ≥ 35% · ED boarding -40%
            · LWBS ≤ 3%.
OWNER       Nursing Director runs daily throughput huddle.
