UMEM Educational Pearls

BOTTOM LINE: ED Boarding is now publicly reported in one state (Connecticut). Public reporting of boarding data may encourage new approaches to remedy the problem.

Additional Information

Connecticut passed legislation in 2023 requiring hospitals to report boarding data annually. Numbers are now reported for 2024, complete with a map that shows the percentage of boarding in each hospital in the state. There is an additional page for patients or staff to report their own experiences regarding boarding.
