A HCFO-sponsored study led by Yu-Chu Shen, Ph.D., of the Naval Postgraduate School, was highlighted in Bloomberg News. The article, "Hospitals Eliminate 1 in 4 US Emergency Rooms Since 1990, Study Finds [1]" discusses the finding of Shen and her colleagues that a large number of US emergency departments (EDs) has closed while the number of ED visits has increased.
