Summary

"This trial is about a new clinic called the Next Day Clinic (NDC) that will be run by UCLA Health starting in July 2024. The clinic aims to improve patient care and safety while

Who is the study for?
The UCLA Next Day Clinic trial is for patients who visit the emergency department with conditions like diabetic foot, osteomyelitis, cellulitis, kidney issues, heart failure, pneumonia or fainting. These should be low-acuity cases that normally would require hospital admission.
What is being tested?
This study tests a new approach where instead of admitting certain patients to the hospital from the ED, they are sent home and return to a high-acuity clinic called NDC the next day. The goal is to improve care quality and cost-effectiveness.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a healthcare service method rather than medication or medical procedures directly on patients, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be risks associated with delaying immediate inpatient care.
