Know Where to Go Before You Go: ER vs. Urgent Care vs. 911 vs. Primary Care

How do you decide between calling 911, going to the ER, urgent care or your primary care provider? When you’re sick or injured, deciding where to go at that time is the last thing you want to worry about. Understanding your options now will make those decisions easier when you need care.

Your primary care doctor is the best place to start if you are sick. They know your health history, medication and allergies. They also know if this problem is recurrent and what has been done in the past.  They may want to refer you to a specialist if these problems continue to occur.  If however, you get sick or injured when your doctor’s office is closed or the office is booked and they can not take care of you that day then you have to choose where to go.  You will save time and money by going to the urgent care instead of an emergency room for non-life threatening problems.  Urgent care is not a substitute for the emergency department.  In general, an emergency condition is one that can permanently impair or endanger your life.

For any Medical Problem that is Life-Threatening–Dial 911 Immediately 

The ambulance will be able to start your care immediately and take you to the closest emergency department. ER visits should be reserved for true emergencies. They have the widest range of services for emergency care, including special diagnostic tests and access to specialists. That specialized care also makes it the most expensive type of care. And you may have longer wait times to get treated if your problem is not life threatening.

 

Resiliency Educational Sessions

DCHA is sponsoring a webinar series, powered by the Maryland Healthcare Education Institute (MHEI), to support wellness and resiliency among our hospitals.

Compassion & Civility
As leaders and staff, you may be interacting with patients, families and visitors who seem a little more impatient and a tad more demanding. Maybe as leaders and staff we are even more impatient and demanding with each other. This session provides an opportunity to reset expectations among employees as well as strategies to address incivility coming from patients, families, and visitors.

Self-Care & Well-Being
Compassionate care starts with self-care and well-being. This session explores the value in taking care of self and strategies for well-being that can positively impact physical, social, and career well-being.

自大流行开始以来,医院的利润率最差

Kaufman Hall 专家表示,自 COVID-19 大流行开始以来,2022 年将成为美国医院和卫生系统财务状况最糟糕的一年。根据考夫曼霍尔最近的报告,医院和卫生系统的门诊收入和手术室时间减少,住院时间从 6 月到 7 月增加。 国家医院快报 昨天发布。医院在 7 月份更积极地招聘,但劳动力需求仍然很高,价格也相应上涨。病情较重的患者在医院的停留时间也更长,从而推高了成本。该报告还指出,越来越多的患者继续选择门诊中心而不是医院进行外科手术,这是“向门诊护理和医院外获得护理的新方式更大转变的标志”。
