Abstract
Emergency department (ED) evaluations for syncope are common, representing 1.3 million annual US visits and $2 billion in related hospitalizations. Despite a growing evidence-base supporting clinical risk stratification and outpatient management, wide variation in syncope hospitalization rates persist. In order to address low-yield hospitalizations, we sought to develop a new quality measure for very low risk ED adult syncope patients who can be incorporated into performance improvement programs using national administrative data.
