Back to HEAT T10 • What has this got to do with Emergency Medicine?
Role of Emergency Medicine • To gather information • To direct this to someone who can do something with it, possibly with advice • To develop redirection pathways
Story so far • Information • Demographics of attendees • Analysis of attendance to identify possible redirection
Demographic stuff • Stewart Cardwell’s analysis of Ayrshire attendances • 17-35 year olds make up 25.5% of workload • Of 79% are self presenters or 999 • Only 20% get admitted, 40% are discharged without review
Analysis • Casenote review of 1733 patients, about 5-10% of out of hours attendances should be primary care • 2.5% attendances are psychiatric
Redirection pathways • Currently: • Go to A&E • For the future; • Back to relevant community based care
Potential progress • Front door redesign • Re direction • Cross fertilisation
Changing behaviour • Futile unless experiential learning • Advantages clearly demonstrated • Sanctions applied
