Out-of-network emergency department use among managed Medicaid beneficiaries.
The researchers examined factors associated with out-of-network ED use among Medicaid beneficiaries. They concluded that there are a number of factors related to out-of-network ED use, including the proximity and density of out-of-network EDs, race and ethnicity, a prior history of out-of-network ED use, and individuals' connection to primary care.

Enhancing administrative data to predict emergency department utilization: the role of neighborhood sociodemographics.
Much of emergency department (ED) use is avoidable, and high-quality primary care can reduce it, but performance measures related to ED use may be inadequately risk-adjusted. To explore associations between ED use and neighborhood poverty, a secondary analysis of Massachusetts managed care network data, 2009-2011, was conducted.
