View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The use of ED by patients with non-urgent conditions has largely been seen in many hospitals. However, in general, half of the patients who visit the ED are non-urgent conditions. Due to this, the ED continues to struggle with overcrowding. This study aimed to determine the common reasons for non-urgent visits and their management in the ED by analysing the past medical records between January 2024 to December 2024. The management includes triage time, consultation time, cross referrals, and time taken by cross referrals, admission and discharge status, admission and discharge criteria, time taken for admission and discharge decisions, and delay time and reason for delay.
