Non-critical, lower-acuity patients in the Green Zone often face long wait times, which frequently leads to institutional oligoanalgesia (delayed or inadequate pain relief). <strong>Objective:</strong> This short communication outlines a Quality Improvement (QI) work flow proposed by the author to clear departmental bottlenecks. The main target is to bump up the percentage of Green Zone patients with acute trauma-related pain who get their pain relief within 90 minutes of registration. This framework serves as a suggested model for other public hospitals looking to improve their ED throughput. <strong>Methodology: </strong>Using the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) and SMART prioritization criteria, the author evaluated key departmental issues and selected delayed pain management as the priority target. A strict Model of Good Care (MOGC) was designed to run through a rapid implementation timeline from July 2026 to August 2026. Data collection plans include pulling timestamps from the Electronic Health Record (EHR) system and handing out targeted questionnaires to frontline staff. <strong>Expected Outcomes:</strong> By sorting out the fragmented department layout, introducing decentralized analgesia sub-stores/carts directly inside the Green Zone, and conducting proper staff briefings, this model establishes a practical, sustainable work flow to hit our national KKM QA benchmark of ≥ 70% compliance.</p>2026-10-01T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2026 Malaysian Journal of Medical Research (MJMR)
