Emergency department utilization of case-managed patients following benign gynecologic surgery.

Background: Case management has been shown to reduce the amount of unnecessary emergency department visits among Medicaid or uninsured patients. This study aims to determine whether case management is associated with decreased unnecessary emergency department visits among benign gynecology surgical patients in the first 30 days following surgery.

Results: Out of 875 patients, there were a total of 58 return visits to the emergency department within 30 days and only 6 readmissions.
