Abstract: Overcrowding in the emergency department has been a growing worldwide problem. Some solutions have been put forth in the several points of the patient’s path mostly in order to provide a more efficient flow of patients within the ED. We propose, in this paper, a mobile app that could integrate real-time information of patients, emergency departments, medical emergency teams and general practitioners. This could help scatter the non-linear flow of patients before they arrive and ultimately improve not only quality of care but also better patient outcomes.
