MP50-08 TRANSITION OF CARE PROTOCOL FROM EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT TO STONE CLINIC IMPROVES NON-OPERATIVE MANAGEMENT

More than a million American stone patients present to Emergency Departments (ED) on an annual basis. They will obtain a diagnosis and control of their symptoms, but they will not achieve resolution. That resolution will occur at some later time, on their own, with their primary care provider, or under care of a urologist. The transition from the ED to after care is typically disjointed and occurs at a time of diminished capacity for the patient, who just a few hours previously had considered themselves to be healthy before the unanticipated intrusion of disabling renal colic.
