Other represents all other diagnostic categories for ED patients, but represents musculoskeletal (MSK) or cold and influenza diagnoses for MAPP patients who did not self-book but were either scheduled for follow-up by the MAPP healthcare providers for intravenous drug treatment or diagnostic imaging, or were sent from the main ED to the Pink Zone by the ED triage nurse.
ED, emergency department; HANA, high-acuity, non-admitted; LANA, low-acuity, non-admitted; MAPP, Minor Ailment Patient Pathway; n, number of patients; P4R, Pay-for-Results; UC, usual care.
