How this service works
Weiss 2004 National ED Overcrowding Study (NEDOCS) reduced five-variable model: ED patients indexed to ED beds, boarding indexed to hospital beds, respirators, longest admitted-patient hours since registration, and last-called registration-to-bed hours. Returns the linear score (1 decimal) and the published ≥100 overcrowding cutoff. Caller supplies counts and hours; magent does not count beds or wait times. Not a medical device and not a diversion or ambulance-bypass order.
Output
Returns the NEDOCS linear score to one decimal place computed from the Weiss 2004 reduced five-variable model, along with a flag indicating whether the score meets or exceeds the published ≥100 overcrowding threshold. Does not issue diversion or ambulance-bypass orders.
Example use cases
Real-time ED overcrowding dashboard
“Run a NEDOCS score for our current shift: 85 patients, 50 ED beds, 22 boarding patients, 500 hospital beds, 4 on respirators, longest admitted patient has been here 18 hours, and the last waiting-room call was 3 hours ago — is it over the 100 overcrowding threshold?”
Quality improvement retrospective audit
“I'm reviewing last Tuesday night's 11pm snapshot for our QI report. We had 60 patients in 45 ED beds, 15 boarding in a 350-bed hospital, 2 respirators, the longest boarding patient had been there 10 hours, and registration-to-bed for the last called patient was 1.5 hours — what was our NEDOCS score?”
Staffing escalation trigger check
“Our charge nurse says it feels slammed — help me calculate the NEDOCS score: 95 ED patients, 55 ED beds, 28 boarding patients, 600 hospital beds, 5 respirators, the longest admitted patient registered 22 hours ago, and the last waiting-room call was 4 hours ago. Does it hit the ≥100 overcrowding cutoff?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.magentlab.com/api/calc/nedocsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a rapid, standardized Weiss 2004 NEDOCS score from already-collected census data and have all five inputs available (ED patients, ED beds, boarding patients, hospital beds, respirators, admit time, reg time). It is preferable over manual calculation when building automated ED dashboards, QI audit pipelines, or staffing escalation triggers. Not appropriate if you need real-time bed or patient counting (the caller must supply those figures), or if you need a different crowding tool such as EDOCS or EDWIN.
Side effects
- Missing required query parameters (ed_patients, ed_beds, boarding_patients, hospital_beds, respirators, admit_time_hours, reg_time_hours) returns a validation error
- Values outside allowed ranges (e.g. ed_patients >200, hospital_beds >3000, admit_time_hours >120) may return a 400 or out-of-range error
- Non-integer values for integer fields cause schema validation failure
- Payment not processed (x402 protocol) results in a 402 response before calculation occurs
- Network timeout or upstream error returns a 5xx response
