After SPIN! Video: What can be done to decrease the number of ER visits a year?
Published June 9, 2015
After SPIN! - "Question to Becki Gray – The Rand Corp recently reported that 1 in 5 Americans goes to the Emergency Room at least once a year and that ER visits are actually increasing. The Hospital Association says it is hard to pin down specific reasons for the increase but they might be due to a shortage of family doctors and Obamacare. What’s your reaction to this report and what, if anything, can be done to decrease the volume in this most expensive care?"

Richard L Bunce says:
Remove the regulations that prevent Emergency Rooms from performing significant triage efforts to weed out the non emergency visitors early in the process. Upfront copay's for the conscious. Co-locate non emergency care clinics with emergency rooms.
