During periods of five weeks before and five weeks after distribution of a pamphlet entitled "Before you go to your doctor or to the casualty department" which was distributed to all households, the patterns of attendance at a casualty department were investigated with subdivision into degrees of indication for attendance. A significant decrease in the number of attendances was observed after distribution of the pamphlet. Patients with lesser indications remained away. It was estimated that at least 56% of the cases could have been treated in the primary sector. 37% of the attendances outside normal working hours were considered as being postponable until daytime.
在向所有家庭发放题为《在您前往看医生或急诊部之前》的宣传册之前五周和之后五周期间，对急诊部的就诊模式进行了调查，并将就诊指征程度进行了细分。发放宣传册后，就诊人数显著减少。指征较轻的患者不再前来就诊。据估计，至少56%的病例本可在基层医疗部门得到治疗。正常工作时间以外的就诊中有37%被认为可推迟至白天。
