Abstract
Inadequate understanding of the processes and plan of care for psychiatric patients by ED nurses was suspected to be related to prolonged length of stay and elevated incidences of acts of aggression in the Emergency Department. Including ED nurses in the psychiatric team's morning rounds was implemented to improve interdisciplinary communication with the goal to reduce length of stay and acts of aggression.
