Effective multidimensional approach for practical management of the emergency department in a COVID-19 designated children's hospital in east China during the Omicron pandemic: a cross-sectional study.

Our findings highlight the effectiveness of the multidimensional approach, which can simultaneously meet the emergency care needs of patients as well as pandemic prevention and control. However, the results were obtained against the proportional decrease in clinic visitors due to the Shanghai lockdown. Dynamic assessment and further optimization may be adopted to cope with the pre-pandemic visit volume.
