EPMG
has long recognized the value of extending the emergency evaluation
of select patients with various undifferentiated complaints in order
to provide the most efficient and necessary medical care in an outpatient
setting. These emergency physician managed units allow us to significantly
reduce the evaluation process for many conditions that are traditionally
considered for hospitalization while also reducing costs dramatically.
The successful application of clinical guidelines in the Chest Pain
Center or Observation Unit has reduced the variability of practice which
has led to critical improvements in quality of care, patient satisfaction,
cost reduction, and resource utilization for the hospital.
