DES PLAINES, IL In patients matched on complexity and acuity presenting to the emergency department with chest pain and abdominal pain, the care delivered by advanced practice providers (APPs) and emergency physicians is largely similar with respect to diagnostic test ordering and admission decisions. That is the finding of a study just published in the January 2021 issue of
Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM), a journal of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM).
