An emergency department is a specific area in a hospital that is organized to provide high standard or quality of emergency care to people. It is a part of the hospital that provides 24-hour emergency care to patients who need urgent medical attention.
Market Dynamics:
Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, rising number of emergency department visits, growing geriatric population, rise in adoption of advanced technologies and tools, and rise in penetration of health insurance among the US population are major factors expected to propel growth of the U.S. hospital emergency department market over the forecast period.
For instance, in August 2022, Virginia Mason Franciscan Health (VMFH) announced it will build the state’s first hybrid ER/urgent care centre in Bremerton, Wash. The unique nature of the hybrid ER/urgent care model eliminates guesswork for patients unsure of where to go for care. A patient can simply present to the facility and board-certified emergency physician will examine and triage them to the appropriate level of care based on their need. Patients will only be billed for the level of services they actually receive, which helps manage their costs.
