What does the ER visit consist of?
Your EMA encounter begins when our EMA clinician enters your hospital room after reviewing the nurse’s documentation from the triage portion of your emergency department visit. The physician or physician assistant obtains and documents a full history of your symptoms, a conversation which may include discussion of your body systems, personal history, social history, and/or family history. He or she then performs a physical exam and determines what, if any, tests are required to make a diagnosis and/or treat you. These tests may include lab work, radiological tests, and/or more sophisticated tests. He or she then reviews the tests to determine appropriate treatment measures, such as medication or other therapies, before documenting a final diagnosis and, in some cases, admitting you to the hospital for inpatient services. If you are discharged from the emergency department, the physician or P.A. may also arrange for follow-up care with another medical provider.
