About The Patient
Wait
Brianne Casey, RN, BSN, TNCC is an ER nurse who sees patient injury and death from long waits at overcrowded hospitals. She invented The Patient Wait to get patients access to healthcare faster and save lives.
PROBLEM
City hospitals are overcrowded and unprepared for patient surges during pandemic, flu season, and mass casualty events while surrounding suburban hospitals are underutilized, and are eliminating staff and equipment.
The 2019/2020 COVID-19 pandemic exacerbates this problem.
- Patients and EMS go to same overcrowded facilities
- They are unaware of nearby community hospitals
- Americans are dying unnecessarily
