Impact of Biological Point of Care Devices Implementation on the Length of Stay of Patients in Emergency Room (SUPOC)

NCT03840564 COMPLETED

"Main objective: to demonstrate that the implementation of an extended panel solution for the point of care analysis of biological parameters (point of care : POC) in an emergency department (ED) reduces the length of stay (LOS) of patients Secondary objectives: to demonstrate the feasibility of implementing an expanded panel of POC solutions in an ED and the reduction of emergency overcrowding in the POC group. To determine the medico-economic impact of the extended implementation of POC solutions (cost-efficiency and health-economic study), to collect the satisfaction of medical (emergency physicians, medical biologists) and paramedical personnel as well as the satisfaction of patients. Inclusion criteria: Any patient consulting in the emergency department during the study period Non-inclusion criteria: Patients attending the emergency departments as part of dressing or trauma follow-up consultations Main criteria of judgment: Time between administrative registration and the patient's discharge or hospitalization decision, compared between the control period and the intervention period (POC). Design: Prospective, monocentric, controlled, cluster- randomized per week. Duration of center preparation (technical preparation and training of laboratory staff): 4 weeks Duration of inclusion period: 18 weeks Duration of patient participation: 1 day Total trial duration time: 22 weeks"
