Evaluating rates of ER visits in those who completed Medicare annual wellness visits in a federally qualified health center setting.
Objective: To assess whether completing a Medicare annual wellness visit has a lower association with emergency room visits in a federally-qualified health center setting.
Methods: We examined rates of emergency room visits of Medicare beneficiaries in those who completed Medicare annual wellness visits to those who did not complete Medicare annual wellness visits from January 2024 toDecember 2024.
Results: The rates of emergency room visits are lower in those who completed Medicare annual wellness visits.
Conclusions: Federally qualified health center settings should prioritize scheduling and targeting patients for Medicare annual wellness visits, as completion of these visits have the potential to reduce emergency visits.
期刊介绍:
Internal and Emergency Medicine (IEM) is an independent, international, English-language, peer-reviewed journal designed for internists and emergency physicians. IEM publishes a variety of manuscript types including Original investigations, Review articles, Letters to the Editor, Editorials and Commentaries. Occasionally IEM accepts unsolicited Reviews, Commentaries or Editorials. The journal is divided into three sections, i.e., Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Clinical Evidence and Health Technology Assessment, with three separate editorial boards. In the Internal Medicine section, invited Case records and Physical examinations, devoted to underlining the role of a clinical approach in selected clinical cases, are also published. The Emergency Medicine section will include a Morbidity and Mortality Report and an Airway Forum concerning the management of difficult airway problems. As far as Critical Care is becoming an integral part of Emergency Medicine, a new sub-section will report the literature that concerns the interface not only for the care of the critical patient in the Emergency Department, but also in the Intensive Care Unit. Finally, in the Clinical Evidence and Health Technology Assessment section brief discussions of topics of evidence-based medicine (Cochrane’s corner) and Research updates are published. IEM encourages letters of rebuttal and criticism of published articles. Topics of interest include all subjects that relate to the science and practice of Internal and Emergency Medicine.
