87). This study took a quantitative approach to show how implementing a physician assistant-managed fast track unit could help improve wait times for all acutely ill patients and improve length of stay for acutely ill patients acute (Theunissen, Lardenoye, Hannemann, Gerritsen, Brink, & Poez, p. 87). There is a literature review under the title of introduction included in this article and there is also a theoretical framework; however, most of the cited resources are more than 5 years old (Theunissen, Lardenoye, Hannemann, Gerritsen, Brink, & Poeze, p. 87-88). The experimental design was used in this study as it examined the implementation of the fast track unit and then evaluating the effects it had on wait times and length of stay (Keele, p. 41). A power analysis was used to determine the sample size needed to show changes of 15 minutes or more in length of stay and wait times (Theunissen, Lardenoye, Hannemann, Gerritsen, Brink, & Poeze, p. 89). Extraneous variables are the number of disorders, mortality, level of acuity, and the presence of complex problems (Theunissen, Lardenoye, Hannemann, Gerritsen, Brink, & Poeze, p. 88-89). Data were collected by the E-care automated information system for emergency departments (Theunissen, Lardenoye,
