To enhance care delivery in emergency departments (EDs) through faster risk-stratification methods, this study showcases initial findings from the ICare-FASTER interventional clinical trial. Focusing on point-of-care technology within an Accelerated Diagnostic algorithm (0-2 h), it discusses the clinical utilization of this algorithm conducted at Christchurch Hospital in New Zealand and highlights its impact on reducinTo enhance care delivery in emergency departments (EDs) through faster risk-stratification methods, this study showcases initial findings from the ICare-FASTER interventional clinical trial. Focusing on point-of-care technology within an Accelerated Diagnostic algorithm (0-2 h), it discusses the clinical utilization of this algorithm conducted at Christchurch Hospital in New Zealand and highlights its impact on reducing the overall length of stay for patients.
