Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Utilization of the emergency department (ED) for non-urgent visits has become an important topic among healthcare providers and administrators. Non-urgent visits to the ED result in financial and health related problems for those who utilize the ED in this manner, as well as managed care organizations. There are many influences included in patients' decisions to utilize the ED for non-urgent reasons. The purpose of this research was three fold. The first purpose was to identify reasons for utilizing a southwest Florida Emergency Department rather than other healthcare services for non-urgent care. The second purpose was to identify common factors among patients seeking non-urgent care in the emergency department in a southwest Florida rural emergency department. The third purpose was to determine if patients who visit a southwest Florida Emergency Department for non-urgent reasons receive less preventative care than national standards.

Download or read book Oncologic Emergency Medicine written by Knox H. Todd and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive clinical reference on cancer emergencies. It is edited and written by world-renowned experts in emergency medicine and oncology and covers the diagnosis and management of the full range of emergencies caused directly by cancer or by its treatment. It shows how the entire spectrum of clinical medicine is brought to bear in the care of cancer patients in the unique setting of the emergency department (ED), from health promotion and prevention, to treatment and palliative care. Recognizing the multiple, overlapping contexts in which emergency care of cancer patients occurs, the book addresses clinically crucial interdisciplinary topics such as the ethics of ED cancer care, the interface with palliative social work, substance abuse, and more. Finally, perspective on care system and social forces that shape ED cancer care, such as cancer care disparities and care models, and on how ED cancer care is delivered outside of the United States, frame the book as a whole. Against the backdrop of rising numbers of cancer patients and survivors as the United States population ages and a forecast shortage of oncologists, this book is designed to serve as the authoritative, single-source clinical reference on cancer emergencies. The intended audience includes emergency physicians, oncologists, internists, family physicians, emergency nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, policy makers as well as pre- and postgraduate trainees.
