ED Diversion Business Summary Student’s Name Institution’s Affiliation ED Community Partnership for Express Care and Case Management (New Jersey) Setting(s): Newark Beth Israel Medical Center/Newark Community Health Centers; Monmouth Medical Center/Monmouth Family Health Center This program was implemented from 2008 to 2011 where they tested a model of providing alternate non-emergency services to those patients visiting the ED with care needs that were not urgent. The program aimed at addressing non-emergency cases reported in the EDs of New Jersey. The strategy they used to enhance this program involved the pilot hospitals collaborating with federally qualified heath center (FQHC) that were nearby where nonemergency patients could be sent for follow up. This decision increased capacity as more clinical staff was employed and services hours increased by It involved collaboration with external care sites and extension of operation hours. The strategy employed involved using grant funds to provide services to an urgent clinic visit around the area of Medicaid members who are used to visiting the emergency department. To create awareness of the prepare care of non-emergency services to the Medicaid population advertisement patient navigators and education were used. Although the program aimed at reducing the overall utilization of the department data did not show that. However it was evident that if the clinics were not there patients with non-emergency needs would visit the emergency departments. This reduced the waiting time in the emergency department for serious cases saving time and money. References Medicaid.gov Keeping America Healthy.
