Elle Wang -Characterizing People With Frequent Emergency Department Visits and Substance Use in Ontario, Alberta and BC.
Nuanced population-level characterizations of subgroups who frequently use drugs are lacking in Canadian provinces, making it challenging to develop policies that address these groups' patient-specific needs. We used linked administrative databases to categorize subgroups of patients who frequently presented with substance use-related concerns to emergency departments (EDs) in British Columbia, Ontario and Alberta. Our research stresses the importance of understanding risk factors for long-term, frequent ED use, as interventions are needed to better address physical and mental health needs that may lead to patients persistently visiting EDs.
