Link
Description
Presents the results of a cross-sectional, web-based survey
sent to medical directors and/or nurse managers from 135
hospital-based emergency departments (EDs) in Michigan.
Examines the rural and urban differences in the presence of
clinical pathways, services to reduce admissions, barriers
connecting patients to outpatient services, and the
availability of resources to reduce or prevent avoidable
admissions.
