Niagara Health eases ER delays with ambassadors, better communication, and community partnerships.
Niagara Health’s emergency departments face prolonged wait times due to high patient volume, limited beds, and delays in discharging patients awaiting community care.
To improve care, the system launched an ED waiting room ambassador program at Marotta Family Hospital, where personal support workers assist patients, monitor health, and prevent emergencies.
Efforts also include better wait time communication, redesigned waiting areas, stronger community partnerships, and encouragement to use alternative care options like walk-in clinics or virtual urgent care for non-emergencies.
These steps aim to reduce congestion and improve safety and efficiency in emergency care.
