The students found that 30% of ER visits are non-emergency situations. Plus, non-emergency visits cost up to $4.4 billion annually.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Jamie Teves, Faith Cleary, Emily Compton, and Grace Barilla found that the Southern Arizona community needed more information about when to dial 911.
They found that there was an immense amount of people calling 911 for non-emergency reasons which made it more difficult and added even more time for those who had actual emergencies. Both the nursing students and the Marana Fire Department want to encourage people who are not in life threatening situations to use other local resources like urgent care, that way it eases up the local emergency rooms and will hopefully allow wait times to let up.
