The Complexity of the Emergency Department as Seen by People With Psychosocial Disability and an <scp>NDIS</scp> Plan and the Clinicians Caring for Them
Training for clinical staff in what the NDIS provides, mental health trained staff being available, and suitable environments would provide better outcomes for people with a PSD and an NDIS plan when presenting to the ED. Creating communication pathways between the ED and the NDIS to assist with service integration would ensure continuity of care.
