What are some of the reasons why your hospital's ED turfs patients to other hospitals? My ED often gets patients from outside hospitals for procedures that the outside hospital is capable of doing like a broken leg.
I understand turfing if the hospital is at 100% capacity or the patient does not have insurance. I DID NOT SAY THAT I AGREE - I JUST UNDERSTAND. What are some of the other reasons?
I really do want to understand why it happens.
Thanks
