Metro South HealthBrisbane hospital makes big recovery •by: Clifford Fram, AAP National Medical Writer•July 25, 2013 6:41PM A Brisbane hospital improved after having the slowest emergency department in Australia last year. Source: AAP A QUEENSLAND hospital has bounced back from the shame of having the slowestemergency department in Australia.
Princess Alexandra Hospital's emergency department was singled out in 2012 for itstardiness, meeting time targets for only 33 per cent of patients.
On Thursday it was named as the most improved based on 2013 figures, with 62 per centof patients making it out of the department within the targeted four hours.
"We have gone from from being far and away the worst to at least being in the middle of the pack," said Dr Andrew Staib, the deputy director of emergency department.It was a multi-faceted effort, he said. "But there is still a lot of work to do."Queensland was the best performed state in Australia for the March 2013 quarter, with 11of its 24 major hospitals meeting its 77 per cent target, according to National Health
