There is interest in emergency medical admissions, the outcomes of major reconfigurations and the development of systems and processes for Acute Medicine. We report on the long-term outcomes of an Acute Medical Admissions Unit, using a database of emergency admissions to St James' Hospital, Dublin, from 2002 to 2012. ⋯ Institution reform can result in substantial outcome and process measure benefits, improving care delivery to emergency medical admissions.
