JOURNAL

david ki reoche et alMany Hospital Emergency Department Visits Could be Treated 

Elsewhere .USA

Many studies have found the cost of treating of nonemergent conditions in the emergency department is significantly higher than in other settings, which can increase patients' out-of-pocket costs and add avoidable spending to the nation's health care bill. 

•A new RAND Corporation study says about 17 percent of all visits to hospital emergency departments across the United States could be treated at retail medical clinics or urgent care centers, potentially saving $4.4 billion annually in health care costs.
