It's been long known that EDs in the nation's largest cities routinely provide non-emergent primary care. But a new study by the AHA and several allied hospital associations has found that a very high proportion of ED visits in each of the four communities studied could have been handled outside the ED.
长期以来，人们都知道美国最大城市的急诊室经常提供非紧急的初级护理。但美国心脏协会（AHA）和几个联合医院协会的一项新研究发现，在所研究的四个社区中，每一个社区的急诊就诊中，有很大一部分本可以在急诊室外得到处理。
