A&E care and emergency admissions

Many patients now view A&E as a rapid route to care regardless of the severity of their condition. The result is an increase in often inappropriate volumes of demand by patients who could be managed differently.

This puts an added strain on A&E resources and sometimes deflects attention from other patients whose conditions are more serious. Better understanding of the profile and flow of patients within urgent care is a key trigger to optimising the management of their care pathway.
