The recent growth in the use of emergency departments (EDs) is costly, undesirable, and unnecessary. This trend is partly due to a growing proportion of persons who lack a usual source of care. This group is increasingly likely to rely on EDs for their health care needs compared with those who have a usual source of care.
急诊科(EDs)使用量最近的增长成本高昂、令人不满且毫无必要。这种趋势部分归因于缺乏常规医疗服务来源的人群比例不断增加。与有常规医疗服务来源的人相比,这一群体越来越有可能依赖急诊科来满足其医疗保健需求。
