What if every child who came to the ER got the right care, as quickly as possible, without extra tests or transfers?
ARPA-H PM @LSMayMD joined Grand Rounds at Children’s National to tackle pediatric emergency readiness and unnecessary care. The vision is getting kids to where they need to be with even faster triage when they are critically ill.

All #EPs know #COVID19 increased #antibioticresistant #infections & deaths, but it also pushed #antibioticstewardship to the back burner.
Now #EDs have to help reverse that, say @LSMayMD of @UCDavisHealth & @DrMichaelPulia of @uwsmph. #FOAMed @writergina tinyurl.com/bdz2nxxj

Today's ED operations are crumbling. LOS for admitted pts rose 32% from 2019 to 2022. Pts leaving without treatment rose 86% (2.9% to 5.4%). Pts have longer waits, are more likely to leave, and board for long periods after admission. A major cause for this is nursing shortages.

Simulated disaster exercises are just one way we keep our department prepared to best serve our community in times of need.
Our faculty, residents, nurses, technicians and surgical colleagues displayed amazing teamwork when put through the test!
More than 100 staff members and emergency responders from the community took part in a simulated plane crash exercise. This exercise tested @UCDavisEM's emergency management plans, trained staff, and helped improve the medical center's ability to deal with disasters.

Our ED has implemented a new program to help our providers prescribe PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) to patients that are at high risk of acquiring HIV.

This weekend I had the privilege of experiencing what it was like to be a patient being cared for at a hospital that seem to have decided actually caring for patients was too hard. A thread /1

Our @AnnalsofEM correspondence highlights the importance of ED testing for STIs even w/ empiric treatment, the inferiority in test sensitivity of urine samples in females compared to patient self-swabs, and the need for implementation of rapid STI tests authors.elsevier.com/a/1dc9Y…

Effective public health messaging is critical. #COVID19 has repeatedly demonstrated this, but it was important before and will continue to be important after this pandemic. @drjootz reviewed CDCs's 6 Crisis Emergency Communication rules at #SHEASpring2021
