'See and Treat' Clinic Service Evaluation at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Abu Dhabi.

Conclusions: Door-to-doctor times were shorter in ST clinics compared to other parts of our ED, but there was no statistically significant difference in door-to-door times when comparing ST clinics to the rest of the ED. ST clinic patients had a lower rate of unplanned return within 72 hours, of which, none required admission on the return attendance. We believe ST clinics have a positive impact on reducing ED crowding but acknowledge they are one of the many plausible solutions attributing to optimized patient flow in the ED.
