Trends in recreational poisoning in Newcastle, Australia, between 1996 and 2013
2016, Drug and Alcohol DependenceCitation Excerpt :Specifically, we hypothesized that young males would be most likely to present for recreational poisoning, and that alcohol would be the most common drug ingested. Data was acquired from a cohort study from 1987 to 2014 of consecutive poisoning presentations to HATS (Buckley et al., 2015, 1999). In 1996, the database underwent changes and data collection was modified.
Critical Aspects of Emergency Department Documentation and Communication
2009, Emergency Medicine Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Marill and colleagues24 confirmed this reimbursement improvement and added the advantage of physician satisfaction when they compared the T-System of paper templates (Emergency Services Consultants, Irving, TX) with undirected written documentation. Other studies have also shown documentation improvements in areas such as asthma,25 head injury,26 and poisonings.27 Numerous electronic versions of complaint-specific charts have also been developed,28 and they carry the same advantages and disadvantages discussed previously.

2017, Medical Journal of AustraliaCitation Excerpt :HATS routinely records data for patients who present to hospital (even if the poisoning is uncomplicated) in a purpose-built database.10 A structured data collection form is used by HATS to prospectively capture information about patient demographics (age, sex), the drugs ingested, co-ingested substances, previous suicide attempts, whether the overdose was intentional or unintentional, management (including intensive care unit [ICU] admission), and complications of poisoning (hypotension, arrhythmias, ventilation requirement, death).11 At discharge, further information is collected, including hospital length of stay [LOS], and psychiatric and substance misuse diagnoses.
