  Title Increasing patient numbers: The implications for New Zealand emergency departments Type Journal Article
  Year 1999 Publication Accident & Emergency Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 7 Issue 3 Pages 158-163  
  Keywords Emergency nursing; Organisational change  
  Abstract This article examines influences that impact on the work of the Emergency Departments (EDs). EDs are noticing increased attendance of patients with minor or non-urgent conditions. This increase in patient volume, together with on-going fiscal constraints and restructuring, has placed an added strain on the functioning of EDs. New Zealand nurses need to question the role currently given to EDs and identify the issues surrounding the increased use of these departments for primary health care.
