title: Administrative support helps keep your LOS low.
abstract: Reducing length of stay is an ongoing process, not a project, and requires constant monitoring and performance improvement efforts. Keep close tabs on patient flow. If numbers start to rise, begin your campaign for additional staff. Institute cross-training, so staff can perform a number of tests within the ED. Work closely with lab staff to make sure that the ED's patients always receive top priority.
