Hospital-Based Emergency Care addresses the difficulty of balancing the roles of hospital-based emergency and trauma care not simply urgent and lifesaving care, but also safety net care for uninsured patients, public health surveillance, disaster preparation, and adjunct care in the face of increasing patient volume and limited resources. This new book considers the multiple aspects to the emergency care system in the United States by exploring its strengths, limitations, and future challenges. The wide range of issues covered includes: (1) The role and impact of the emergency department within the larger hospital and health care system; (2) Patient flow and information technology; (3) Workforce issues across multiple disciplines; (4) Patient safety and the quality and efficiency of emergency care services; (5) Basic, clinical, and health services research relevant to emergency care; and (6) Special challenges of emergency care in rural settings. 410 0$aFuture of emergency care. 606 $aHospitals$xEmergency services 606 $aEmergency medical services 606 $aHeatlh care reform 606 $aHealth Care Reform$3(DNLM)D018166 606 $aEmergency Service, Hospital$3(DNLM)D004636 606 $aEmergency Medical Services$3(DNLM)D004632 607 $aUnited States 615 0$aHospitals$xEmergency services. 615 0$aEmergency medical services. 615 0$aHeatlh care reform. 615 2$aHealth Care Reform. 615 2$aEmergency Service, Hospital. 615 2$aEmergency Medical Services. 676 $a362.11 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bCommittee on the Future of Emergency Care in the United States Health System. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963186403321 996 $aHospital-based emergency care$94351262 997 $aUNINA
