Abstract
|
|
|
A study was conducted with the emergency room that was intended to examine prospectively patients’ view of the urgency of need for medical care. Patients presenting to the emergency room of The Catholic university of Korea affiliated Bucheon St. Mary’s hospital between July 1 and July 14, 2006, were surveyed. At the emergency room a standard data
collection questionnaire was supplied to every patient within the study period. A total of 733 forms were collected and evaluated. This study indicates that patients presenting to the emergency room do not need care urgently. We also can not find out the influential factors to make use of emergency room with non-emergency reason.
