There has been much investigation into the causes and management of overcrowding, but little about how it affects care delivery. The author therefore undertook a systematic literature review of the subject. This revealed that diverse areas of care are affected by overcrowding, and confirmed its adverse effects on patient experience and care.
对于过度拥挤的原因及管理已经进行了大量研究,但对于其如何影响医疗服务提供的研究却很少。因此,作者对该主题进行了系统的文献综述。这表明不同的医疗领域都会受到过度拥挤的影响,并证实了其对患者体验和医疗服务的不利影响。
