Rural Emergency Hospital is the newest Medicare hospital designation, available since 2023. These are rural hospitals that have stopped admitting inpatients and now provide emergency and outpatient care only. For a patient it means a real emergency department is still open locally, but an admission will mean a transfer elsewhere. The category is small and growing, and most directories have not caught up with it.
