“…Similarly, Cooper et al (2002) compared satisfaction among patients triaged by a Senior House Officer (SHO) with those triaged by ED nurses. Only three studies used random sampling methods to select participants (Chan & Chau, 2005;Chang et al, 1999;Cooper et al, 2002), while in the rest of the included studies the sample was chosen conveniently (Bruce et al, 1998;Davis & Duffy, 1999;Dinh et al, 2012a;Elder et al2004;George et al, 1992;Goransson & Rosen, 2010;Jennings et al, 2009;Mabrook & Dale, 1998;Moser et al, 2004;Rhee & Dermyer, 1995;Thrasher & Purc-Stephenson, 2008;Wilson & Shifaza, 2008). The sample selection strategy was not mentioned in three studies (Barr et al, 2000;Byrne et al, 2000;Topacoglu et al, 2004).…”

“…The Consumer Emergency Care Satisfaction Scale (CECS) was used in two studies in its original form (Davis & Duffy, 1999;Elder et al2004) whereas Chan and Chau (2005) used a Chinese translated version of this scale. Some studies modified previously developed questionnaires for their own study and two studies (Barr et al, 2000;Mabrook & Dale, 1998) did not provide any information about the type of questionnaire.…”

Primary care professionals providing non-urgent care in hospital emergency departments

Background In many countries emergency departments (EDs) are facing an increase in demand for services, long-waits and severe crowding. One response to mitigate overcrowding has been to provide primary care services alongside or within hospital EDs for patients with non-urgent problems. It is not known, however, how this impacts the quality of patient care, the utilisation of hospital resources, or if it is cost-effective. Objectives To assess the effects of locating primary care professionals in the hospital ED to provide care for patients with non-urgent health problems, compared with care provided by regular Emergency Physicians (EPs), Search methods We searched the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care (EPOC) Group Specialized register; Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (The Cochrane library, 2011, Issue 4), MEDLINE (1950 to March 21 2012); EMBASE (1980 to April 28 2011); CINAHL (1980 to April 28 2011); PsychINFO (1967 to April 28 2011); Sociological Abstracts (1952 to April 28 2011); ASSIA (1987 to April 28 2011); SSSCI (1945 to April 28 2011); HMIC (1979 to April 28 2011), sources of unpublished literature, reference lists of included papers and relevant systematic reviews. We contacted experts in the field for any published or unpublished studies, and hand searched ED conference abstracts from the last three years. Selection criteria Randomised controlled trials, non-randomised studies, controlled before and after studies and interrupted time series studies that evaluated the effectiveness of introducing primary care professionals to hospital EDs to attend to non-urgent patients, as compared to the care provided by regular EPs. Data collection and analysis Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed the risk of bias for each included study. We contacted authors of included studies to obtain additional data. Dichotomous outcomes are presented as risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and continuous outcomes are presented as mean differences (MD) with 95% CIs. Pooling was not possible due to heterogeneity. Main results Three non randomised controlled studies involving a total of 11 203 patients, 16 General Practioners (GPs), and 52 EPs, were included. These studies evaluated the effects of introducing GPs to provide care to patients with non-urgent problems in the ED, as compared to EPs for outcomes such as resource use. The quality of evidence for all outcomes in this review was low, primarily due to the non-randomised design of included studies. The outcomes investigated were similar across studies; however there was high heterogeneity (I2>86%). Differences across studies included the triage system used, the level of expertise and experience of the medical practitioners and type of hospital (urban teaching, suburban community hospital). Two of the included studies report that GPs used significantly fewer healthcare resources than EPs, with fewer blood tests (RR 0.22; 95%CI: 0.14 to 0.33; N=4641; RR 0.35; 95%CI 0.29 to 0.42; N=4684), x-rays (R...

Background The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence's (NICE) United Kingdom (UK) geographic search filters for MEDLINE and Embase (OVID) retrieve evidence in literature searches for UK‐focused research topics with high recall. Their precision and number‐needed‐to‐read (NNR) was examined previously in case studies using a single review. This paper details a larger post‐development study that was conducted to test the NICE UK filters' precision and NNR more extensively. Methods The filters' recall of included UK references from 100 reviews was calculated. As reproducible search strategies were not available for every review, the MEDLINE filter's precision and NNR were calculated using strategies from 25 reviews. Strategies from nine reviews were used for the Embase filter. Results The MEDLINE filter achieved an average of 96.4% recall for the included UK references from the 100 reviews and the Embase filter achieved an average of 97.4% recall. Compared to not using a filter, the MEDLINE filter achieved an average of 98.9% recall for the 25 reviews. Precision was increased by an average of 7.8 times, reducing the NNR from 357 to 46. The Embase filter achieved an average of 97.1% recall for the nine reviews. Precision was increased by an average of 5.1 times, reducing the NNR from 746 to 146. Conclusion There is more evidence to demonstrate that the NICE UK filters retrieve the majority of UK evidence from MEDLINE and Embase while increasing precision and reducing NNR. The filters can save time spent on selecting evidence for UK‐focused research topics.
