Description

Just teaching patients not to call their doctor at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon can reduce unnecessary emergency department (ED) utilization, a trend that is sapping the resources of EDs around the nation. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 55 percent of the 90 million visits to EDs in the United States in 1996 were unnecessary. In healthcare dollars, that means that 40.5 million people paid up to three times as much for routine care at the ED as they would have paid at a physicians office. Teaching timely access to outpatient care is just one tactic covered in this special report, which is based on an October 2006 audio conference sponsored by the Healthcare Intelligence Network (HIN). For Emergency Use Only: Curbing Unnecessary Emergency Room Use Through Education, Accountability and Physician Engagement provides a blueprint for health plans, hospitals and providers desiring to address and reduce unnecessary ED utilization in their populations. In this 35-page special report, Roberta Burgess, clinical case manager, Community Care Plan of Eastern Carolina, and Gerald Kiplinger, vice president and executive director of the Georgia Enhanced Care program for APS Healthcare, detail how to target and reduce unnecessary and inappropriate ED use. You'll get details on initiatives and interventions for decreasing non-urgent ED use, mining data to target high-utilization, high-cost individuals, implementing an ED case management program, communicating proper ED use to targeted populations and enlisting physicians' support in care redirection and appropriate ED use.
