Yiadom MYAB, et al. - This study was performed to test the hypothesis that there was a decline in inpatient admission rates for patients with non-specific chest pain (CP) after emergency department (ED) evaluation. In inpatient-hospital admission for patients with non-specific CP after ED evaluation, there was a 41.1% decline. This reduction was temporally correlated with national policy changes affecting reimbursement for inpatient admissions.
