Résumé
Overcrowding in the Emergency department (ED) necessitates a major challenge in delivering high-quality care in acute settings. This study presents a novel approach to modeling the relationship between the day of the week, ED arrivals, chest pain (CP), and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) using regression analysis. We analyzed data from 2016 to 2019 across three platforms: a nationwide representative sample (NHAMCS), a federated data network (TriNetX), and a regional medical center. For the stated three outcomes, the number of patients in that category on each day of the week was calculated; these were then calculated separately for each year, as well as across all four years. In line with prior studies, this study demonstrates the highest percentage of ED arrival on Mondays and the lowest on the weekends. Similarly, chest pain was more prevalent on Mondays, with similar patterns for TriNetX and the regional medical center. Analyzing NHAMCS data demonstrated Wednesdays as the busiest day for AMI-related ED arrivals, although this observation was not statistically significant. This knowledge will better aid us in resource allocation and system awareness, paving a path toward better patient care, improving disease management, and reducing healthcare costs.
