Emergency Department Diversion (EDD) Sample Clauses

Emergency Department Diversion (EDD). MCPs must provide access to services in a way that assures access to primary, specialist and urgent care in the most appropriate settings and that minimizes frequent, preventable utilization of emergency department (ED) services. OAC rule 5101:3-26-03.1(A)(7)(d) requires MCPs to implement the ODJFS-required emergency department diversion (EDD) program for frequent utilizers. Each MCP must establish an ED diversion (EDD) program with the goal of minimizing frequent ED utilization. The MCP’s EDD program must include the monitoring of ED utilization, identification of frequent ED utilizers, and targeted approaches designed to reduce avoidable ED utilization. MCP EDD programs must, at a minimum, address those ED visits which could have been prevented through improved education, access, quality or care management approaches. Although there is often an assumption that frequent ED visits are solely the result of a preference on the part of the member and education is therefore the standard remedy, it is also important to ensure that a member’s frequent ED utilization is not due to problems such as their PCP’s lack of accessibility or failure to make appropriate specialist referrals. The MCP’s EDD program must therefore also include the identification of providers who serve as PCPs for a substantial number of frequent ED utilizers and the implementation of corrective action with these providers as so indicated. This requirement does not replace the MCP’s responsibility to inform and educate all members regarding the appropriate use of the ED.
