Emergency Department Use in California |
About the Program
Hospital emergency departments are a critical part of our health care system—and have long been a focus of policy discussions on effectively managing resources. How has emergency department use in California changed in recent years? Did the Affordable Care Act affect usage patterns? PPIC researcher Shannon McConville will outline findings from a new report, and a panel of experts will discuss challenges and opportunities for improving health care and managing costs.
This event is supported with funding from the PPIC Corporate Circle and the PPIC Donor Circle.
