Show on ED Status Board
Once the patient has been Triaged, if they have not been discharged, they will be moved to another area within the ED for further treatment, to be seen by a doctor or admitted to the ED for longer term observation / treatment. The ED status board layout is a "live" picture of the occupancy within the Emergency Department. While it is managed via a PC screen, ideally it would be a projected on wall display much like what you would see behind the counter at McDonalds or airport departure lounge.
This gives the nursing staff, doctors, etc., live access to wide array of patient information, cubical status and much more. This would be far more efficient than using a standard white board. This is not to be confused with the 'Admission' layout, the intent is to show all patients within the ED; admitted, pre-admitted and those receiving treatment who will not require admission.
