The recent ICE webinar “Emergency or Not; The Effect of the Non-Emergent Patient” presented by AHEC Chief Executive Officer Jence Garza, MHA, RT(R)(ARRT), was sponsored by the Advanced Health Education Center (AHEC). It was eligible for 1.0 ARRT Category A CE credit by the AHRA.
The non-emergent patient chooses to seek treatment in the emergency department for conditions that a delay in treatment of several hours will not impact the likelihood of an adverse outcome. This session examined various impacts these patients have on a health system and how it can affect their own wellbeing.
Garza discussed the statistics behind these patients, why or how they may become superusers along with the imaging department’s role in taking care of these patients. She also fielded questions from attendees during the webinar.
The webinar recorded 44 registrations with 26 logged in for the live presentation. A recording of the webinar is available for on-demand viewing at ICEwebinars.live.
