Abstract
Emergency department visits are expensive. With a growing patient population, emergency departments have seen an increase in unnecessary, non-emergent patients. Hospital revenues are affected as resources must be allocated to these unnecessary visits. The use of telehealth by these departments may serve as a cost-effective method to reduce unnecessary visits to the emergency room.
