Emergency departments in rural areas often lack access to specialists, which can lead to suboptimal patient care. The AHRQ Health Care Innovations Exchange includes innovative approaches to address this issue, such as innovative videoconferencing that enables specialists in academic medical centers and other settings to provide evaluations and consultations remotely to rural emergency departments which can improve diagnosis and treatment. For example, the University of California at Davis Children’s Hospital provides 24-hour pediatric evaluation and consultation services to rural emergency departments, which has improved diagnosis, treatment, and patient satisfaction. In addition, the Child and Adolescent Abuse Resource and Evaluation (CAARE) Center at the University of California at Davis Children’s Hospital provides 24-hour child abuse evaluation and consultation services and monthly child abuse training to health care providers in remote emergency departments and clinics, which has led to increased identification and treatment of child abuse.
