چکیده
Background Emergency departments (ED) have recently been established throughout Denmark, and their organization is still under transformation. The departments are characterized by a high turnover of staff. To ensure quality of care and efficiency of work electronic whiteboards (EW) have been implemented. The EWs create an overview allowing staff to assess who need care the most and to coordinate resources. May 2011 EWs were implemented at Slagelse ED, and a guideline for its use was written. The aim of this study was to detect potential factors compromising the use of EWs in its operational phase 17 months after implementation.
