ER visits
Urgent care arrivals
ER visits are trips to a hospital emergency room, typically for urgent medical problems that can't wait for a regular doctor's appointment.
The term appears frequently in healthcare discussions about costs and access: The uninsured often rely on ER visits for basic care.
High numbers of ER visits may indicate gaps in preventive healthcare.
