This tool can empower doctors to discharge each low-risk patient quickly. This improves their quality of life, frees beds for higher-risk patients, and saves significant health-care costs. It can also be used to help educate patients about their risk of going home that day.
EHMRG is a tool that brings more precise estimates of risk to the emergency department and, as a result, more personalized approach to patient care. The risk calculator, first proven effective in a Circulation study, is developed by Dr. Douglas Lee, our Chair in Heart Failure Outcomes.
