Addressing Same Day Health Concerns
Pre(ER)
Patients have same day healthcare concerns.
The Pre(ER) service, offered by local healthcare providers and institutions, connects patients with a same day healthcare concern with emergency medicine professionals who
- provide patient-centered healthcare advice
- have experience with local healthcare institutions
- can help sort out the patient's next step
In communities that don't have access to a Pre(ER) provider, the options to address same day healthcare concerns are limited:
- try for a same day appointment with their doctor
- call their insurance company's nurse and hope the answers aren't financially motivated
- use a telehealth service that likely has no connection to local healthcare institutions
Your institution should provide the Pre(ER) service for your area. It is the digital front door for patients who have a same day healthcare need.
Or, you can be one of those institutions that doesn't have a front door...but you know how that turns out.
