Zusammenfassung:First and foremost, although press coverage may vary with regard to highlighting various parts of the article, we want to emphasize the primary message: the importance of timely access to urgent care, as well as the challenges of providing that care in the face of constrained resources. As clinicians providing that care, it is our responsibility to remain engaged at all levels to look for credible and sustainable solutions. In conclusion, this study has generated important discussions with the various stakeholders within our institution, and we encourage other institutions to have these conversations, as we constantly strive toward more patient-centred solutions.
