I am excited to share our AHRQ-funded study examining rates of potential diagnostic error for high-risk emergency admissions among Medicare beneficiaries.
Among Medicare beneficiaries with emergent hospitalizations for selected high-risk emergency conditions, approximately 3% were potentially missed on an ED visit within the prior 9 days.

I’m delighted to share our recent work t.co/VGpLro9Kmo suggesting that much of the growth in VA spending on ED visits to non-VA (“community”) EDs is due a shift in payer for ED visits from Medicare to the VA, rather than a large change in where veterans are seeking emergency care.
