Patients will come into the ER, they bypass the inpatient experience entirely, and go straight home. Just think about something like a nurse visit, a nursing visit, or a physical therapy visit. I distinctly remember being in the ER, trying to recruit patients for this program. And that’s more standard. Tacara: I agree.
