Merging queries with left outer join
The emergency department director requested a triage score breakdown by total visits. They want to understand the distribution of Emergency Severity Index (ESI) scores throughout the data collection period for department b.
ESI levels are numbered 1 through 5, with level 1 indicating the greatest urgency. Visits with ESI from 1 to 3 are considered higher acuity and require higher resources than visits at levels 4 to 5, so keeping track of staffing and resource planning is important.
Your task will be to combine the triage data with the master visit data to prepare this analysis.
