Efficientie van alcoholscreening door de receptionist op de SEH

Patton R, Shute J, Hinchley G, Ranzetta L. Efficacy of alcohol screening in the accident and emergency department managed by reception staff: a pilot study. Emerg Med J 2009 Jun;26(6):424-5

Hazardous levels of alcohol consumption are associated with presentations to the accident and emergency department. Although screening and brief interventions are effective at reducing levels of hazardous drinking, a low number of departments has implemented such a strategy. Time constraints upon clinical staff have been cited as one reason for this inertia. This pilot study demonstrates that self-completion of screening materials is possible before a patient is seen by clinical staff.
