Description
This is the first study to examine the issues relating to choice between public and private emergency departments in an Australian setting. This study has identified that the key factors influencing the choice were affordability and perceptions of the quality of service provided. The research provides valuable insight for future planning by identifying the factors that if addressed may help improve patient’s access to emergency care.
