Case Reports Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Improving the use of early follow-up care after emergency department visits. A randomized trial.
To test the hypothesis that the appropriateness of parents' use of early follow-up care after emergency department (ED) visits can be improved by postvisit support from a nurse practitioner. ⋯ The nurse practitioner's intervention improved parents' use of follow-up care in our sample. Overall care for episodic ED users might be improved by similar interventions.
