As the number of patients who present at emergency departments (EDs) increases (Australian College for Emergency Medicine 2005), ED staff are coming under greater pressure to assess, treat and discharge patients within time limits. This article describes the introduction of a rapid assessment team in an ED in Adelaide, Australia, which assesses patients at triage and treats them until space is available in the main department, thereby improving access and patient flow.
随着前往急诊科（ED）就诊的患者数量不断增加（澳大利亚急诊医学学院，2005年），急诊科工作人员在规定时间内对患者进行评估、治疗和出院的压力越来越大。本文介绍了澳大利亚阿德莱德一家急诊科引入快速评估团队的情况，该团队在分诊时对患者进行评估，并在主科室有空余床位之前对患者进行治疗，从而改善了就诊机会和患者流量。
