Mobile Clinic Effects On A Rural Emergency Department, Jonathan Levenson, John S. Hudson

Graduate Student Government Association Research Conference

PROBLEM: Emergency department (ED) utilization is a measure the effectiveness of the department and an indication of the availability of primary care in the community. The ED of a given healthcare system can be overwhelmed with patients seeking both urgent and non-urgent care, especially in rural and underserved communities. Non-urgent care accounts for over a half of all visits in most EDs. Much of this non-urgent care in the ED is caused by several socioeconomic factors including access to care around working schedules, no requirement for payment when services are rendered, and a lack of a primary care provider.
