Introduction paragraph (approx. 150–200 words):

After the COVID-19 pandemic was recorded, the number of patients who were visiting the emergency department (ED) specifically played a role in contributing to the shift in income received by the clinicians in the emergence department. The decline in the visits were not only recorded among the children but also this was recorded also among the adults and specifically in the pediatric visits. It is within this specific time that also visit rates have been considered to have subsequently increased but in as much as the increase has been recorded, the same has remained to be low comparing to the rates that were there in the year 2019. There is therefore the need for the government do more in trying to bring the economy of the emergency care system to life, this is specifically very important because looking at other countries there is much improvements that are needed to be done in order to ensure that the economic state of the healthcare sector of the country is improved.

Outline:

I. Supporting Point 1

A. Topic sentence: Before COVID-19 came into the picture, the economics of the emergency care system was considered to be very good and compared to that of the other countries, this considered to be better than them.

B. Supporting detail: The biggest emergency care system economy in Europe with more than double what other countries in the continent made. (Pines et al., 2021).

C. Supporting detail: the stereotypes and beliefs that have been [placed surrounding the virus and vaccines provided in hospitals are specifically playing a significant role in reducing the chances of people being free to visit these emergency care systems (Kreps et al., 2021).

II. Supporting Point 2

A. Topic sentence: The reduction in the visits and the subsequent decline in the economy in this sector is attributed to the fact that people have had a negative attitude towards vaccination against covid 19.

B. Supporting detail: Public acceptance to the vaccines that are being provided in the different hospitals have been considered not only to affect the process of combatting the virus but also people generally coming to hospitals. (Kreps et al., 2021)

C. Supporting detail: COVID-19 has played a bigger role in the rates that have dropped in the economics of ED care and particularly in low equity ED visits (Pines et al., 2021).

III. Supporting Point 3

A. Topic sentence: However different people have argued that in as much as this is attributed to COVID 19, there are other factors that also play a role in the reduction of ED care economics.

B. Supporting detail: The change in the way different operations were being carried out in the previous year’s made people to change the way that they accessed these services and therefore the reduction in ED care economics.

C. Supporting detail: The transition of services from the traditional onsite to a distributed virtual maximum telework affected the number of people visiting ED care (Tolentino et al., 2021).

IV. Conclusion

A. Review central ideas presented in body and make connection to thesis: It is clear that the changes and the reduction in the economics of the ED care systems were attributed not only to the attitudes that patients had towards the Vaccination offered against the Covid 19 but also other factors like change in the mode of service delivery affected this also.

B. Closing thoughts: The economics of the emergency care system is a very important thing to be looked at and the process of finding ways in which this can be improved will be also very important.
