Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine whether there are things that Intermountain can do to break down barriers to helping patients see their primary doctors or other outpatient clinics. To do this we will develop and test a classification scheme to help us understand how we might reduce some avoidable emergency department and InstaCare visits.


Clinical Trial Description

The study will develop a first-pass taxonomy that classifies the causes and effects of challenges and opportunities of outpatient care leading to potentially avoidable ED and urgent care center visits.

The study will quantify the proportion of ED and urgent care center visits that result from a challenge or opportunity in outpatient care and classify the causes and outcomes according to the taxonomy. It will also define the 30 and 90 day episode costs of ED and urgent care center visits associated with a challenges and opportunities of outpatient care beginning the day of the ED or urgent care center visit. ;
