Therefore, this research intended to present the undiagnosed patients’ features whom emergency medicine specialists (EMS) hospitalized. Material and Methods: This research is a retrospective, cross-sectional and descriptive study. Patients admitted to Sakarya Training and Research Hospital’s ER and hospitalized by EMS on behalf of a branch were included in the study. Data obtained from the study were analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics 21. Results: The mean age of 57 patients was 70 (min: 56 - max: 80), and 30 (52.6%) of the cases were men. In the department-based evaluation of the consultations, it was ascertained that an average of 2.49 (SD=1.17) branch consultations was requested for each patient, and the average number of consultations per case was 4.16 (SD=2.09). As the number of consultations raised, the time between the emergency service application and the hospitalization decision increased statistically significantly (p <0.016). It was observed that most hospitalizations were because the departments did not make the decision to be hospitalized (n: 40, 70.2%); furthermore, the most hospitalizations were made to the internal medicine department (n: 28, 49.1%), and the majority of the cases were admitted to the service. It was observed that only one patient needed intensive care after hospitalization (n: 1, 1.8%), and there was no interdepartmental patient turnover and mortality after the hospitalization. Conclusion: The main reason for the EMS’ hospitalization arrangement was the refusal of other branches to determine hospitalization. Therefore, it was perceived that the emergency specialists’ hospitalization decisions were essentially accurate.}, number={3}, publisher={Türkiye Acil Tıp Derneği}
