American College of Emergency Physicians

I think what started was an invitation to write this paper, and I suspect that the invitation came because this is an academic interest of mine.

The first paper I published on bleeding in the emergency department in the context of oral anticoagulants was about eight years ago, I led a work group by the American College of Emergency Physicians to try to provide guidance for emergency physicians on how to think about their patients who are bleeding on anticoagulants in the ED.

And then that paper led to several other academic projects, and it ended up becoming one of my interests.

Because of that scholarship, I think the editors thought I might be a good choice for this particular edition.

So that's a little bit of an update of what we've been doing around here.

I recently got back from the American College of Emergency Physicians meeting.

I had four presentations there.

It was great to meet a whole bunch of you there at those sessions.

We pretty much always have open beds in our practice.

It's very unusual that people wait any significant period of time in our waiting room.

But I just came back from the American College of Emergency Physicians meeting.

This is not even close to the experience that most people have across the country.

Potential adverse effects include airway obstruction, apnea, hypersalivation, vomiting, and cardiovascular changes.

The American College of Emergency Physicians' 2023 clinical policy supports several pharmacologic approaches to severe agitation in the emergency department, while allowing consideration of ketamine when immediate safety is a concern.

The evidence and operational circumstances in the pre-hospital environment are not identical to those in the emergency department.

So which is best? There isn't one universal answer for every severely agitated patient.

Hey, Ken.

And then I kind of just nerded out about a lot of the administrative side of it.

Um, And so from there, I got involved nationally, the American College of Emergency Physicians, their reimbursement section.

I just got involved in that because I wanted to learn more and learn from the experts.

And then just reading a lot and developing a lot over time, I kind of developed that niche of that administrative part of it.

All right, so Dr. Peter Pruitt, chair of the Research Forum here, and high-level updates from the Research Forum, as well as conducting high-quality retrospective chart reviews in emergency medicine.

successWatertown Regional Medical Center has earned accreditation for its efforts to improve emergency care for older adults.

The hospital received geriatric emergency department accreditation from the American College of Emergency Physicians.

The recognition follows specialized training for staff, follow-up calls for patients older than 65, and access to food and beverages when medically appropriate.

The emergency department has also adopted practices to reduce the use of urinary catheters when they are not necessary.

I think it will be, um, a, a process that we'll continue to be transparent with employees about, um, and we'll be very clear about how we're tracking success.
