Still struggling with patient flow? Most hospitals have tried all of the basic ED strategies and either those that did work were only at the surface level or have been over shadowed by increasing volume, acuity and sometimes payer demands (i.e. payer and/or payer physician follow up). Additionally, hospital EDs have been telling their CEOs for years that it is not just an ED problem and indeed they are right.

We are now learning that universal coverage does not necessarily mean reduced ED visits. The original postulate was that if all were insured, fewer people would need to go to an ED for primary care. They would have a traditional "medical home" environment and willing physician practitioners due to the patient's "insured" status. Apparently, nothing could be further from the truth.
