Patient pathway description
The typical patient journey begins with a 999 or 111 call to NEAS, where a call handler records the initial details and performs triage using standard clinical algorithms. Based on the triage outcome, an ambulance or clinical resource may be dispatched. Upon arrival, the attending crew assesses the patient on scene, recording observations, working diagnosis, and any treatment provided. The crew then determines the appropriate outcome, such as conveyance to hospital, referral to another service, or discharge at scene. All key stages in this pathway&mdashcall receipt, dispatch, arrival, on-scene care, and handover or closure&mdashare timestamped and linked to a single patient episode.
