Early in 2008, Henrico's administration decided to address a marked decrease in volume of patients hospital-wide, while St. Mary's volume was increasing. After investigation, the problem was found to be in the Emergency Department and compounded throughout the facility. Most notably, the issue began with a long Emergency Department length of stay, creating staff, physician and patient dissatisfaction. Overall length of stay was 270 minutes, over 470 minutes for admitted patients, and over 216 for discharged patients on average. Bed hold hours for admitted ED patients waiting transfer to an inpatient bed had risen to around 1500 hours per month. Gallup scores for patient satisfaction were at the 11th percentile. Patients began leaving without being treated at a rate twice the national average. Hospital administration decided something needed to change. (PRWeb Dec 26, 2008)

It is the sole community provider of healthcare services for Jefferson County and other surrounding communities. With the intent of improving patient access, ed throughput and patient satisfaction, the hospital board backed by the community, invested millions of dollars into redesigning its Emergency Room. In June of 2006, the new emergency room opened. The ER had been designed without a waiting area, - a feature that leadership assumed would lower patient length of stay and eliminate wait times. It boasted 24 private, patient rooms built around a central clinical nursing core. Patient transportation, visitation, and other activities occurred via a perimeter hallway. (PRWeb Oct 9, 2008)
