description <h3>Background</h3><p dir="ltr"> Using primary healthcare facilities can decrease the tension and workload in emergency departments (EDs). This study aim to examine the patient’s use of primary healthcare facilities before EDs visits and their expectations about the triage. </p><h3>Methods </h3><p dir="ltr">A cross-sectional design was utilized in at various EDs in different hospitals. A convenience sample of 726 patients were enrolled and completed a self-administrated questionnaire. </p><h3>Results </h3><p dir="ltr">The mean age of the participants was 38.1 (<i>SD</i> = 12.9). Most participants (68.2 %) did not have primary care physicians and did not want to know how long other patients waited (61.4 %).
