Profile and outcomes of emergency department presentations based on mode of arrival: A state-wide retrospective cohort study

Rachel Wardrop et al.

Summary: Understanding how patients arrive at the emergency department can help in planning health services' response. This study compared demographics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of adult ED patients based on mode of arrival: brought in by police, brought in by ambulance, or privately arranged transport. The study found that patients brought in by ambulance were more likely to receive urgent care and be admitted to hospital, while those brought in by private transport were more likely to be discharged sooner.

Summary: Most patients brought to the emergency department under section 351 of the Mental Health Act of 2014 expressed intention to self-harm, did not require medical intervention, and were discharged home. However, there were a concerning number of patients who had multiple section 351 events over a short period of time.

Patient profile and outcomes of traumatic injury: The impact of mode of arrival to the emergency department

Julia Crilly et al.

Summary: This study compares traumatic injuries among patients arriving at the emergency department (ED) through different modes of arrival and examines the predictors of longer ED length of stay (LOS) and hospital admission. The findings indicate that patients arriving by ambulance are more likely to require hospital admission and have a longer ED LOS.

Impact of Trauma Center Designation Level on the Survival of Trauma Patients Transported by Police in the United States

Ghassan Bou Saba et al.

Summary: The study found that the survival rates of trauma patients transported by police to different levels of trauma centers were not associated, and were similar to other trauma studies. Therefore, trauma patients can be safely transported by police to the nearest trauma designated center without affecting outcomes.

Predictors of Emergency Department service outcome for people brought in by police: A retrospective cohort study

Rachel Wardrop et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify predictors of hospital admission and an ED length of stay (LOS) >= 4 hours for patients brought in by police to the emergency department. The results identified triage category, age, arrival shift, diagnosis, and ED LOS as important factors influencing hospital admission and ED LOS. These findings indicate the need for further support and interventions to optimize patient outcomes.

Scoping reviews: the PAGER framework for improving the quality of reporting

Caroline Bradbury-Jones et al.

Summary: The article discusses the popularity of scoping reviews as a literature review method and presents the PAGER framework for analyzing and reporting such reviews. It reflects on the strengths and limitations of the framework, provides examples, outlines methodological processes, and suggests ways to improve reporting. This contribution aims to enhance the reporting and utility of scoping reviews in health and social research.

Characteristics and clinical outcomes for mental health patients admitted to a behavioural assessment unit: Implications for model of care and practice

Catherine Daniel et al.

Summary: The study found that patients receiving a specialist mental health assessment in the BAU had lower acuity upon admission, were more likely to arrive with police, and were subjected to more restrictive interventions. They also had a longer length of stay compared to those who did not receive the assessment. Further development of the BAU model should focus on minimizing the use of restrictive interventions and ensuring timely access to acute mental health services.

Experiences of emergency triage nurses in the police handover of mentally ill patients: A qualitative descriptive study

Antonia Arnaert et al.

Summary: This study explored the experiences of ED triage nurses regarding the handover of mental health patients by police. Nurses and police officers share a concern for patient well-being, but may have differing approaches due to differing responsibilities. Despite the need for ED-triage protocols, all nurses noted a positive change in police culture towards mental health.

Impact of changes in community psychiatric service provision on mental health presentations to the emergency department

Caoimhe McLoughlin et al.

Summary: The removal of a direct community access point led to a substantial increase in ED presentations for patients in acute mental health need, many of whom did not have physical issues. This study has important implications for future policy, especially in considering how to address the needs of this group in light of the pandemic.

Mental health presentations to the paediatric emergency department: A retrospective study

Daniela F. Say et al.

Summary: This study focuses on mental health presentations in a tertiary paediatric emergency department in Australia, finding that they account for 6.7% of all presentations for children aged 7-17 years, with suicidal ideation, self-harm, or drug overdose being the leading causes. Female patients, those aged over 14, triaged with high acuity, and arriving by ambulance or police are more likely to be admitted. Eating disorders pose the highest risk for admission.

Policed Patients: How the Presence of Law Enforcement in the Emergency Department Impacts Medical Care

Megan Y. Harada et al.

Summary: The study found that emergency physicians frequently interact with law enforcement officers, with most physicians having mixed views on their experiences with law enforcement. Positive interactions and cooperation contrasted with negative experiences leading to treatment interruptions and breaches in health privacy. The lack of clear definition of law enforcement officers' role in the emergency department may result in contentious interactions between healthcare personnel and law enforcement.

Summary: The study explored patient and staff experiences in relation to a mental health liaison nursing service implemented in two rural emergency departments in New South Wales, Australia. Patients highlighted the therapeutic benefits of the service, while staff recognized the positive impact on ED culture and practice. The integration of mental health care within the ED was most substantial with the introduction of a nurse practitioner as clinical lead.

Summary: Child maltreatment has a negative impact on oral health, but related concepts still need further development. Discrepancies exist between members of the dental team in terms of their awareness of child maltreatment and their ability to identify and report child protection concerns. Local-level policy and practice development aim to improve working relationships between dentists and health and social work practitioners.
