The journal, Australian Health Review lists the most read articles in 2010/ 2011. One of the articles looks at understanding the reasons for frequent re-attendances in Emergency Departments and how this can assist in developing solutions to hospital overcrowding. The factors associated with frequently re-attending patients include older age, type of condition, unplanned return visit and season.
A number of other interesting articles relate to nurse practitioners, teleheath, end of life care and effective discharge planning. Contact your health library if you cannot access the full text version of the articles.
