NCT03163225

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine whether there are things that Intermountain can do to break down barriers to helping patients see their primary doctors or other outpatient clinics. To do this we will develop and test a classification scheme to help us understand how we might reduce some avoidable emergency department and InstaCare visits.
