A new streaming system is being launched to cope with high demand at the emergency department of Hull Royal Infirmary.
Staff stationed on the door of A&E will direct appropriate cases to the neighbouring urgent treatment walk-in centre.
A spokesperson for City Health Care Partnership CIC, which manages the walk-in centre, said: "The purpose of streaming is to quickly determine the most appropriate place for a patient.
"The aim is to free up vital resources and relieve pressure in the hospital."
The £2.7m urgent treatment centre opened earlier this year, with the intention of reducing overcrowding and waiting times at A&E.
The spokesperson said the new streaming system would "allow us to deliver a high-quality patient-focused service at the front door".
