ER saturation

[hogan4736, BSN, RN]

This weekend in Phoenix, AZ:

13 of 30 hospitals on diversion (or Saturation) on Friday night...

How are things elsewhere?

That's a LOT of diversion. How far out are the patients diverted?

just to the next nearest hospital...sometimes 10 miles...some have to "circle" until someone comes off diversion...
