What emergency department wait times do community members want to see displayed?

Abstract

300 consecutive patients who receive an ED diagnosis of cellulitis. All patients, regardless of antibiotic agent, dose and route of administration will have clinical features assessed during ED and hospital stay as well as at days 3, 7 and 14 after presentation to the ED. We will also assess relevant patient centred outcomes (Table 1). We anticipate that these data will provide valuable information to better understand the natural course and therapeutic response of this common condition and provide a more robust definition of 'treatment failure'.
