Er capacity
ER capacity, or Emergency Room capacity, refers to the number of patients an emergency department can effectively treat and manage at a given time. It depends on available resources like staff, beds, equipment, and space. When the ER approaches or exceeds its capacity, it can lead to longer wait times, crowded conditions, and potential challenges in providing timely care. Managing ER capacity involves balancing patient inflow with resource availability to ensure safe, efficient treatment for all patients.
