All health care services aim to provide the right care, at the right time in the right place. There is growing evidence to suggest that a person’s ability to obtain and understand basic information about their health condition, defined as their level of health literacy, impacts on how they access health care. This study aims to determine whether health literacy impacts on some people’s decision to utilise emergency department care instead of their general practitioner for non-emergency conditions.

所有卫生保健服务的目标都是在正确的时间、正确的地点提供正确的护理。越来越多的证据表明，一个人获得和了解有关其健康状况的基本信息的能力，即其健康素养水平，对其获得保健服务的方式有影响。这项研究旨在确定健康知识是否影响一些人在非紧急情况下使用急诊科护理而不是全科医生的决定。
