Description
The ED imaging h‐index allows identification of patients who undergo significant ED imaging, based on a single‐digit patient‐specific metric that incorporates both annual ED visit number and medical imaging resource intensity per visit. While ED patients with an ED imaging h‐index ≥ 2 represented a minuscule fraction of privately insured individuals, they were associated with one‐fifth of all ED imaging resources.
