Effective
We reviewed the delivering evidence-based care and treatment quality statement for the effective key question. Patient risks were not always identified in a timely manner such as screening for sepsis within 1 hour of arrival. Monitoring of risks was not always effective with delays in patients being triaged, screened or treated. Patients were not always kept informed of what was happening. There was a lack of privacy and dignity in some overcrowded areas.
