### **What it is**

The **Emergency Department (ED) Live Breach Analysis** is your real-time radar for ED performance. It lets you see potential breaches before they happen, giving you complete control to manage patient flow and avoid delays.

### **Why it matters**

##### *See the breach before it happens.*

Traditionally, breaches are only visible once they’ve occurred and it is too late to prevent them. This tool changes that by enabling proactive management and data-driven decision-making in the moment.

This feature makes it easy to:

- Anticipate performance issues before they become breaches
- Spot and resolve bottlenecks in real time
- Prioritise patient care based on breach risk
- Monitor trends and take immediate action
- Coordinate responses within and beyond the ED

---

### **How to Use It**

#### **Filter to focus your view**

Use filters to tailor the view by:

- KPI timeframe
- Age group
- Triage category
- Specialty
- Breach risk
- Wait stage

> *Use filters to narrow the results to just your team’s patients. Multiple filters can be applied at once.*

#### **Monitor at each stage**

- See performance at every point of the ED journey: triage, being seen, disposition, admission, and discharge
- Quickly identify if and where delays are happening

#### **Stay ahead with real-time alerts**

- Breach risk alerts show red (breached), orange (at-risk), and blue (within KPI)
- Set custom alerts to track breach trends and get notified when spikes occur
- View your performance across the hospital and region

---

### **How it helps you**

- **Saves time**: No more manual tracking of delays or performance issues
- **Spot risks fast:** Identify where patient flow is slowing down
- **Prioritise care:** Focus on at-risk patients and prevent escalation
- **Drives accountability**: Share performance insights with the team

---

### **Best Practice: How Often Should I Use It?**

To get the most from the Live Breach Analysis component, we recommend the following routine:

| What to Do | How Often | Who Should Do It | Why It Helps |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Review ED Live Breach view | **Continuously** | ED managers, flow coordinators | Intervene in real time, adjust resources quickly |
| Check high-risk alerts | **Throughout the day** | Clinical & admin teams | Spot and resolve issues before breaches occur |
| Use [Historic Breach Analysis](https://academy.healthcarelogic.com/knowledge/outpatient-waiting-list-action-plan-wlap-0) to track breach trends over time | **Weekly** | Flow coordinators, senior staff | Guide service planning and resource allocation |
| Share insights with the team | **Daily** | Team leads, ED managers | Encourage proactive discussions and improvement |

 

---

### **Tips for Success**

- Use filters to drill into areas or specialties that need attention
- Respond to orange (at-risk) alerts early to prevent breaches
- Keep monitoring regularly - real-time data changes fast!
- Share what you’re seeing - proactive communication leads to smoother patient flow
