For me, the reality that ED boarding was not going to get better came when:
A family friend spent >24 hrs waiting for a hospital bed in a stretcher in the ER hallway with a horrific injury & I had explain to him that that was normal.
American ERs are working in disaster conditions every day. The COVID cases have dropped but the hospitals are understaffed & full w/no place to provide care for patients in a safe, private, and dignified way.
Also, HOT OFF THE PRESSES TODAY in the Journal of @AMIAinformatics!
Our feasibility & cross-sectional analysis of physician EHR use measured with vendor-derived data across 2 healthcare systems w/different vendor products
Excited for our @YaleMed @JMIRpub on the design of a user-friendly health IT solution to facilitate rapid adoption of ED-initiated buprenorphine in routine emergency care /1 humanfactors.jmir.org/2019/1/e13121/
Buprenorphine decreases mortality, withdrawal symptoms, craving, and opioid use. But ED-initiation is not currently routine emergency care for people suffering from opioid use disorder. /2
