Summary

This study looked at nearly 30,000 medical records from a large hospital to find out why people come to the emergency department for non-urgent problems. The researchers analyzed how these visits were managed, including wait times and referrals. The goal is to understand the reasons behind non-urgent ER visits and help reduce overcrowding.
