Same Day Emergency Care - survey and focus groups
What is Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC)?
SDEC is the delivery of same day care for emergency patients who would otherwise be admitted to hospital. Under this care model, patients presenting at hospital with relevant conditions can be rapidly assessed, diagnosed and treated without being admitted to a ward, and if clinically safe to do so, will go home the same day their care is provided. Same day emergency care is sometimes called Ambulatory Care.
Patients can be referred to SDEC treatment through different routes, including:
-
From emergency departments
-
Direct referral from GPs
-
Direct transfer from ambulance services
-
Direct referral from NHS 111
