Virtual Toxicology Service decreases the average length of stay of poisoned patients and saves bed days
Objective
We aimed to assess the impact a Virtual Toxicology Service had on the ALOS of poisoned patients.
Methods
This single-centre before-after study compares the ALOS of poisoned patients (diagnosis-related group X62, poisoning/toxic effects of drugs and other substances) following the introduction of a Virtual Toxicology Service in 2020.
Results
The ALOS decreased from 0.89 days in the 2-year pre-intervention period to 0.62 days in the 3-year post-intervention period, with a potential bed saving of 703 days.
Conclusion
The introduction of a Virtual Toxicology Service appeared to be associated with a decreased ALOS of poisoned patients.
