Long Term Trends in Emergency Department Presentation Characteristics and Performance 2015–2022: A State‐Wide Data Linkage Analysis From New South Wales Australia
This long-term study of ED presentations highlighted the stable demand for ED services associated with a dramatic decrease in ETP and an increase in DNW cases suggesting a health system operating at critical levels of capacity. Addressing these challenges requires a multifaceted approach, and our study may assist in providing a foundation for future research and policy development aimed at improving ED efficiency and patient outcomes.
