title: The future of ambulatory  emergency medical care.
abstract: Ambulatory emergency care offers an attractive method of caring for patients who would traditionally require hospital admission. As well as a superior patient experience, ambulatory care also offers significant cost benefits. In future, implementation of purpose-built units with dedicated teams will alter the delivery of acute health care.
