Abstract

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) will have far-reaching effectsonthewayhealthcare is designed and delivered. Several elements of the ACA will directly affect both demand for ED care and expectations for its role in providing coordinated care. Hospitals will need to employ strategies to reduce ED crowding as the ACA expands insurance coverage. Discussions between EDs andprimary care physicians about their respective roles providing acute unscheduled care would promote the goals of the ACA.
