An Acute Problem?(2005)

"An Acute Problem?" is the second study related to our enlarged responsibility for including medical cases. It has been designed to link together the provision of critical care facilities with the care of severely ill medical patients throughout our hospitals. The pattern of inpatient care is changing rapidly and NCEPOD's role is to facilitate and inform that change. This study is as much about facilities and resources as about clinical practice and highlights the levels of care appropriate to patient requirements.
