From symptom onset to ED departure: understanding the acute care chain for patients with undifferentiated complaints: a prospective observational study
Background For most acute conditions, the phase prior to emergency department (ED) arrival is largely unexplored.
However, this prehospital phase has proven an important part of the acute care chain (ACC) for specific time-sensitive
conditions,…
