In most emergency departments, beds are a hot commodity. But some patients don’t actually need a bed for their treatment – and accurately identifying those people is a low-lift but effective way to increase efficiency without sacrificing care quality, finds a study recently published in the journal Management Science.
The researchers developed a simple decision tree, informed by mathematical and machine learning models, to help staff decide whether a patient truly needs a bed or can be routed to a “vertical processing pathway” – that is, an area where they can be treated sitting up. Many hospitals already have such an area but don’t necessarily have a systematic way to decide which patients are treated there.
Diversity alone won’t get the votes for funding public education. It takes communities that are more integrated and connected, where residents have a sense of shared stake.

Determining who is eligible to vote has become a political lightning rod. Several states have enacted new laws related to voting rights, some more restrictive and some more expansive. Are these actions creating appropriate protections, egregious barriers, or reasonable accommodations? News of such activities exacerbates ongoing conflicts between Republican and Democratic lawmakers as they set the stage for the 2022 midterm elections, with control of the Senate and the House up for grabs.
