Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated a newly established Priority Primary Care Centre (PPCC) by analyzing patient referrals from the Emergency Department (ED) from February to June 2023.
- - Out of 1240 patients referred to the PPCC, only 87 (7.0%) returned to the ED, indicating that most patients were successfully managed at the PPCC.
- - Early findings suggest that PPCCs can effectively handle a small percentage of ED cases, allowing for better patient management and care diversion.
