Description
                                    Emergency departments (EDs) across the United States are currently grappling with significant challenges. Widespread issues in emergency care—such as overcrowding, patient boarding, and mounting financial pressures—have created a cycle of strain that leads to far-reaching consequences for hospitals, patients, and health plans. As a result, EDs are overcrowded, patients face delays in receiving care, and health plans incur increased costs due to inefficiencies and excessive utilization.
Join us for a dynamic discussion to exchange ideas and gather best practices for tackling today’s emergency care challenges.
- Payers and RBEs: Find out how EDs are lowering readmissions and reducing return visits to the emergency department and improve your member experience and positively impact HEDIS and STAR rankings.
- Hospitals: Gain actionable insights to improve ED throughput, minimize patient boarding, and create better patient experience.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how your organization can combat the most pressing issues in emergency care.
