Characteristics of emergency department visits and select predictors of hospitalization for adults with newly diagnosed cancer in a safety-net health system.
There is little description of emergency department (ED) visits and subsequent hospitalizations among a safety-net cancer population. In this study, the investigators characterized patterns of ED visits and explored nonclinical predictors of subsequent hospitalization, including time of ED arrival. They concluded that ED visits are common among safety-net patients with newly diagnosed cancer, and hospitalizations may be influenced by nonclinical factors.

Impact of a cancer urgent care clinic on regional emergency department visits.
In this study, the researchers investigated whether the creation of an urgent care clinic specifically for patients with cancer affected emergency department visits among adults newly diagnosed with cancer? They concluded that although only one in eight emergency department-visiting patients also used the urgent care clinic, the growth rate of emergency department visits fell by half after the urgent care clinic was established.
