Abstract
Australian public hospitals are under increasing pressure. Patients are waiting longer to receive care in Emergency Departments (EDs) and to access inpatient care. Many new services have been implemented, the main foci being ED demand and access to inpatient beds. Evaluation is difficult because spillover effects are important, e.g., an intervention providing an alternative to EDs improves access for people who continue to present at EDs.
