Report: Case Management in the ED Survey Results
Summary
Read our recent report to learn how hospitals across the country use emergency department case managers to ensure patients receive the appropriate level of care
To understand the impact that Emergency Department (ED) case managers have in the admission decision, Change Healthcare conducted a survey of our InterQual® customers.
The results show that hospitals with an ED case management program can document the value that case managers provide in reducing unnecessary admissions and ensuring appropriate level of care. However, the survey revealed that many hospitals do not deploy case managers in their EDs.
