4. The size of the problem
• Over the past 3 years there has been an
incremental rise in National Emergency
Department presentations to 1 Million
presentations in 2013.
• In Thames Emergency Department we see
approximately 1000 more presentations
every year.
5. But we face an even more significant challenge
Statistics New Zealand, March 2006
6. In this context
• How do we make ED
visits more efficient and
enable patients to have
more control?
7. A kiosk as a potential solution
• An automated system which utilises red flags from
the history and vital signs could enable patients to
effectively triage themselves on presentation.
• Ideally this system would be integrated with a GP
booking service and the presentation would be
visible to the GP.
• The patient would receive clear guidance as to self-management
8. A kiosk in practice
• A pilot study into the use of a self-registering
kiosk in the ED.
• Funding received and NIHI involved to help
implement the pilot.
• Key question: Can patients use it and how
will they like it?
• Self-register and screening
• Recording of vital signs
