Reducing Avoidable ER Visits in 2014: Care Access, Primary Care Buy-In Remain Top Challenges
White Paper Abstract: Despite expanded healthcare coverage available under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the emergency room (ER)
remains a refuge for those unable to visit their primary care physician (PCP)—whether due to lack of access, insurance,
or time, according to results from the latest Reducing Avoidable ER Visits Survey by the Healthcare Intelligence
Network (HIN). Learn what strategies organizations are using to reduce avoidable ER visits in this executive summary.
In the three years since HIN last administered this survey, health organizations have stepped up their ER discharge
follow-up strategies. More than one-third of respondents (31 percent) in 2014 report they contact patients within 24
hours of their ER visit, versus 22 percent of respondents in 2011 who made provider appointments before discharge,
and 18 percent who conducted phone follow-ups within two days of a visit.
