Sammanfattning
For unknown reasons, the number of visits to Swedish A&E Departments is on the increase. This study was designed to
research whether patients had been in contact with the health service prior to their visit to the Örebro University Hospital A&E
Department and if so, which part of the healthcare system. Our study revealed that 80% of patients had been in contact with the
healthcare service prior to their visit, that referrals by telephone constituted a large proportion of visits and that the level of
medical seriousness differed between the various methods of referral.
