What  should be the maximum ideal length of stay in the ER for the  seriously
injured patient?  I realize that this will depend on the  severity and
mechanism of injury, but those of you who are "QA"-ing (or  "PI"-ing, or even
"CQI"-ing) ER lengths of stay - what are your  benchmarks?


3-8 minutes, MAXIMUM.
