Rate, Mode, Reasons and Factors Associated With Re‐Presentation in People Diagnosed With Musculoskeletal Conditions at a Single Emergency Department: A Cross‐Sectional Exploratory Study
ED clinicians may reduce re-presentation by employing targeted strategies such as shared decision-making about pain management, ensuring a shared understanding of the diagnosis, or stage of the diagnostic process and likely course of symptoms. Further, a follow-up plan that is clinically indicated and patient acceptable may be critical for those with increased odds of re-representation.
