I think this misses just how basic much of the care performed in an ER (which is oriented towards critical care for major problems) is. Duplicate infrastructure is OK when the use-cases are totally different. We need better urgent care clinics.
- maxerickson 4y agoUrgent care should be a billing code at the ER. Pretty much the second they triage you out of immediate care, the separate facility and separate providers are increasing costs. Medical providers suffer under central planning and believe that moving low risk, high value care out of hospitals will make things cheaper. The thing that will make things cheaper is to figure out ways to directly make them cheaper.
