A coalition of New York hospitals is targeting emergency department “super users” in hopes of reducing unneeded ER visits.
Hospitals and health systems work with the 25 Performing Partner Systems in New York as part of the state’s initiative to reduce avoidable hospitalizations by 25 percent by the year 2020, according to an article from Politico.
Hospitals that participate in the program can choose from a number of potential projects, and Sisters of Charity Hospital and Mercy Hospital in Buffalo have begun a care coordination effort to reduce ER overuse.
