Introduction: Hospital admissions from the emergency department (ED) now account forapproximately 50% of all admissions. Some patients admitted from the ED may not requireinpatient care if outpatient care could be optimized. However, access to primary care especiallyimmediately after ED discharge is challenging. Studies have not addressed the extent to whichhospital admissions from the ED may be averted with access to rapid (next business day)primary care follow-up. We evaluated the impact of an ED-to-rapid-primary-care protocol onavoidance of hospitalizations in a large, urban medical center.
