Hospital diversion has been found to increase transport times, create EMS shortages, delay and reduce continuity of care and potentially worsen patient outcomes. State health officials, hospitals and emergency medical providers have agreed that starting in September hospital diversion will now be restricted to only cases of disaster and critical infrastructure failure. This will ensure Hoosiers receive the best care possible where they are, when they need it.<\/p>\n<p>This initiative was a collaborative effort of the Indiana Department of Health, Indiana Chapter of the National Association of EMS Physicians, Indiana Department of Homeland Security, Indiana EMS Commission, Indiana Hospital Association, Indiana Fire Chiefs Association, Indiana Emergency Nurses Association, Indiana Emergency Medical Services Association and the Indiana Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians. These entities will continue to collaborate moving forward to develop patient-centered solutions to emergency department crowding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a huge accomplishment for Hoosiers. Ending diversion practices was a joint decision among those who work in emergency care. Unfortunately, we saw a significant increase in crowd-based emergency services diversion during the pandemic. Since that time, partners have been working diligently to get to today,\u201d said Indiana State Health Commissioner Lindsay Weaver, M.D., FACEP. \u201cThe hospitals report that overcrowding remains a concern but all partners recognize the importance of getting patients to the right care, at the right place and at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Visit the Indiana Department of Health at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.in.gov\/health\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.health.in.gov<\/a> for important health and safety information.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/assorted-photos\/112277.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Indianapolis Star building.
