The Emergency Room Today.

Abstract: (6 pp). Emergency room service, now usually labeled the "emergency department" of a major hospital, is under thorough review. Only a very small number of Americans continuously use the ER for routine medical care. However, the ER may serve as a short-term safety net for persons temporarily unable to access care through a physician's office. The effects of no insurance patients or claims denied patients on an emergency department are also discussed. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
