Patient characteristics, triage utilisation, level of care, and outcomes in an unselected adult patient population seen by the emergency medical services: a prospective observational study
Background: Crowding in the emergency department (ED) is a safety concern, and pathways to bypass the ED
have been introduced to reduce the time to definitive care. Conversely, a number of low-acuity patients in the ED
could be assessed by the…
