We have all seen it – unnecessary ER visits. Now someone has actually studied it – Next-day health care touted as cost-cutter
Many people with inadequate or no health insurance are going to emergency rooms with ordinary aches and pains, and many of them could safely be sent home and told to return for treatment the next day at a hospital clinic, researchers said. The study, published in Tuesday’s issue of Annals of Internal Medicine, concluded that patients with non-acute ailments suffered no ill effects after being told to come back the next day.
The researchers suggested that giving some patients the option of next-day care might help ease crowding and cut costs in overburdened emergency rooms. The study was done at the 500-bed Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Ah! Now we just need to pay the clinic and the clinic doctors to provide the care. Probably would save a lot of money and improve ER efficiency.

ER’s are overutilized and often under-financed, but –
“The researchers suggested that giving some patients the option of next-day care might help ease crowding and cut costs in overburdened emergency rooms.”
helps how? For the other side –

Man with history of depression and suicide attempts given low priority at [Canadian] ER, after six hours leaves and suicides.
Every year millions of men go in for a psa for the prostate.Almost without exception the Dr will say come in in a couple weeks so we can go over your test.I just had mine and it was 2.1 I told the nurse this is what is helping to run the medical costs up.As long as their is not a problem a simple phone call would suffice and probably save my insurance co $50.
I had blood work done and had to go to the Drs.office for him to tell me everything is perfect.Once again a phone call would take care of it.
So,everything is perfect.I want to see you in 3 months.For what?To ask me if everything is alright.Another $50.I left the office saying to myself Doc you will see me when I have a medical problem.If we were trying to treat something that would be different.I could see coming back.Don’t ask patients to come back for no reason.If everyone would use a little common sense medical costs could be lowered considerably.
Enough of that.
