Includes only ED visits in which the patient was discharged from the ED without hospital admission. ED visits ending at hospital admission were counted only once, as hospital admissions.
P values are per χ2 test.
All outpatient encounters except for outpatient infusion and radiology/imaging were face-to-face visits with a clinician (physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant).
