Emergency Room or to a Downtown Sacramento Urgent Care Clinic?

When the urgency of injury or sickness afflicts a patient, it can be hard to determine where best to take him or her—to an urgent care facility or straight to the hospital emergency room. Although patients may not be capable to make a decision, the paramedics should know which one to choose that will offer the patient quality care and save the patient time and money.

At the root of this particular study is the proper utilization of resources and, at the same time, giving patients the right care and treatment they need. After all, emergency rooms and urgent care clinics are staffed differently. On one hand, taking a minor case to the emergency room can be considered a waste of resources. Taking a serious condition to an urgent care clinic, on the other hand, can pose a danger to the life of a patient.
