Reply to "Creating change within emergency department"

Hi Katie,
I think you are on to something big! Thank you for taking the leap and demonstrating leadership in this area!
While every community, clinical site, and work culture will differ, there do seem to be recurring themes when looking at a few of the articles hyperlinked below. (Click on the title to open documents).
In the near future, I suspect the questions and issues you are raising now - will be standard considerations and possibly even built into performance metrics that are linked to reimbursement.
While I don't have any specific answers - hopefully someone else here on ACEs Connection will ... OR your question may be what is needed to get folks thinking about this issue.
Either way - thank you for bravely bringing forth such an important question!
Karen
