The primary goal of Emergency Department (ED) physicians is to discriminate between
individuals at low risk, who can be safely discharged, and patients at high risk, who require

only clinical but also managerial aspects, since reducing the rate of admission of patients to
EDs could dramatically cut costs. Nevertheless, a trade-off might arise due to the need to
find a balance between economic interests and the health conditions of patients. This work …
