Patient-identified needs related to seeking a diagnosis in the Emergency Department
Annals of Emergency Medicine May 18, 2018
Inoue Y, et al. - Researchers performed a qualitative study to explore what patients specifically want to be addressed when seeking a diagnosis at their Emergency Department (ED) visit. Using semistructured telephone interviews with participants recently discharged from the ED of a large urban academic teaching hospital, they determined their expectations of their ED visit and postdischarge experiences. Findings suggested addressing the needs associated with seeking a diagnosis as achievable although diagnosis might not be a feasible outcome of every acute care visit. For more effective transitions home and improved patient outcomes, reframing acute care encounters should focus on addressing specific patient needs, and not just identifying a diagnosis.
