摘要：

Health care costs in the United States continue to increase, requiring solutions that permit safe, quality care with a lower financial investment. Utilization of the emergency department for nonemergent care is considered to be one of the costliest, and most preventable methods of health care delivery. This review seeks to demonstrate how advanced practice prehospital programs can potentially decrease the cost of health care without sacrificing quality or safety. Utilization of the emergency department for nonemergent care contributes to the escalating cost of health care as well as to emergency department overcrowding. Advanced practice prehospital programs are a novel approach to potentially decreasing health care costs and emergency department overcrowding. This review introduces the current state of health care costs, emergency department overcrowding, and advanced practice prehospital programs. Further research is needed to determine the actual fiscal impact of these programs.
