Abstract
Many people experiencing homelessness in North America use the emergency department (ED) as their primary source of health care. Discharging these patients back into homelessness perpetuates the cycle of ED visits and fails to address the social needs (ie, lack of housing and income) that contribute to poor health. Prior reviews have focused primarily on reducing ED utilization by homeless patients, which may or may not correlate with improved health status for a population with complex health and social needs.
