This study will assess the impact of early patient assessment by a physician at Emergency Department (ED) triage on patient perception of information delivery, overall patient satisfaction and ED efficiency. ED efficiency will be assessed by ED length of patient stay, ED left-without-being-seen and ED left during treatment rates.
Participants who decide to take part in this study, will be asked questions by research staff, who will document responses on a secure iPAD device. The survey will ask participants how they feel about their health condition, the emergency department wait, the care they received in the emergency department and how satisfied the participant was with the care received.
