Key Points

  • To evaluate the consequences of the change from GP-cooperative to integrated deputized services on out-of-hours services.
  • Conducted a retrospective cohort study
  • Analyzed patient pathways over time
  • Examined emergency department admission data before and after the change
  • OOHS patient pathways declined during and after the organizational change
  • Emergency department admissions decreased in absolute numbers
  • The relative proportion of admissions increased, indicating a shift towards more acute cases

Abstract

OOHS patient pathways declined over the study period and continued to decline following the organizational change. The absolute number of emergency department admissions also decreased, while the relative proportion of admissions increased. These findings indicate a continued decline in OOHS activity and a slight shift toward more acute cases after the reorganisation.
