The hospital in Leominster has been on diversion status for relatively short periods, like four or five hours at a time, said Diane Barletta, assistant director of the Central Massachusetts Emergency Medical Systems Corp. Hospitals often revert to diversion status when their beds are full, forcing emergency crews to go to the next closest facility, and diversion rates are expected to climb under the new ratios. For example, when the ED is near diversion status, an automatic notification can be sent to designated personnel in or outside of the hospital to help improve patient throughput, productivity and efficiency. |
