Program Aimed at Preventing Frequent ED Use Expanding
Sutter General Hospital in Sacramento is expanding its Triage, Transport and Treatment program as part of an effort to curb unnecessary emergency department visits. For the program, the hospital identified frequent ED users and assigned them to case managers who help them find mental health, drug treatment, primary health care, housing and other services.
