Disruptive Physicians Tracy Sanson, MD, University of South Florida College of Medicine The majority of physicians are professional and respectful. The distressed physician negatively impacts your risk, staff morale, patient safety and his/ her own life. Disruptive physician behavior undermines your institution’s reputation, disrupts its operations, and affects the ability of your staff to perform their jobs. Managing disruptive physicians is one of the top challenges we face today in our goal of maintaining a culture of respect, dignity, and courtesy for all. How do you handle disruptive physician behavior? We will discuss steps to manage and prevent this behavior in your organization. Objectives include:

Theodore Christopher, MD, Thomas Jefferson University Robin Hemphill, MD, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine David Sklar, MD, University of New Mexico School of Medicine

1) Learn to screen physician applicants for signs of maladaptive behavior

Emergency physicians, on a daily basis, serve as advocates for individual patients. On a larger political scale, they must also serve as advocates for the specialty of emergency medicine and may be called upon to advocate for important legislation that impacts the practice of medicine.

SAEM Grant Writing Pre-Conference Workshop•June 2, 2010 Please join us on Wednesday, June 2 for the 2010 SAEM Pre-day Intensive Grant Writing Workshop, an ongoing effort by SARM to bring successful emergency medicine grant writers and new investigators together to discuss this crucial part of career development. The morning session will cover key elements of successful grant writing that include refining scientific questions, common pitfalls in grant submissions, and understanding the review process of both common foundations (including EMF and SAEM) and the federal government. The afternoon session will involve detailed discussion of grants that were not accepted on their first submission but subsequently received extramural support. These grants will be focused in various areas including health service research, clinical research, and basic science research for a broader knowledge of the composition of grants.

Specific attention will be given to the process of project development and, importantly, the process of resubmission. Tuition covers meals, course materials, and a textbook on grant writing at the NIH level.

SAEM Program Committee Meeting

SAEM Academies Academy of Administrators in Academic Emergency Medicine SAEM is proud to announce its latest addition to our Academy family the Academy of Administrators in Academic Emergency Medicine. In October of 2009, after more than a decade of work contributed by colleagues from departments and divisions of emergency medicine across the country, the SAEM Board of Directors approved our proposal and formally created the AAAEM. In so doing, the Board recognized the valuable contributions we have already made and the vital role we will continue to play in the growth and success of academic emergency medicine. Our Academy was formed from the collective vision of your peers believing that the challenges above would be better served through a formal network of administrators working in academic emergency medicine collaborating with their chairmen at America’s leading academic medical centers to promote the specialty of emergency medicine and professional career growth. We encourage you to review the Statement of Purpose and Mission in the AAAEM Proposal at www. saem.org for a broader presentation of what we have done and what the AAAEM will do as we continue our exciting evolution and achievements, including our annual Academic Emergency Medicine Benchmark Survey.

Your involvement is key in making this Academy an incredible success in the coming year! Join today for only $330.00 and receive valuable benefits (including access to the Benchmark Survey results!) for the remainder of 2010. Ask at registration about becoming a member or log into the SAEM website at www. saem.org.

The SAEM Simulation Academy The Simulation Academy welcomes all individuals interested in implementing simulation to advance emergency medicine education, research, and practice.

We have multiple ongoing projects that could use your energy and enthusiasm! Below are listed some of our ongoing projects, but we always have room for more ideas and participants.

Please join us on: June 4th at 8:00 am in for our annual meeting in Grand Canyon Ballroom #1 And don’t forget about SimWars, June 6th at 1:00pm Simulation Academy Projects: • • • • •

Academy of Geriatric Emergency Medicine If you practice adult emergency medicine, you understand the increasing impact that older patients will have on your practice and teaching. The Academy of Geriatric Emergency Medicine was created to improve and expand research and education on older ED patients. Please consider getting involved by attending the 2nd Annual Academy of Geriatric Emergency Medicine meeting Thursday, June 3, 2010 from 3:30-5:30pm in the Grand Canyon Ballroom #1.

Academy of Women in Academic Emergency Medicine (AWAEM) Please join us for the AWAEM meetings on Thursday, June 3, 2010 at 9:30 am in Grand Canyon Ballroom #1 AWAEM was established to promote the recruitment, retention, advancement and leadership of women in academic emergency medicine throughout their careers. We provide a support network for female physicians to facilitate mentoring and research collaboration.

As an AWAEM member you gain valuable access to women in academic emergency medicine who are committed to recruitment, promotion, and retention of women in academic emergency medicine. The networking alone is worth your membership! We have every confidence that you will benefit from attending and that AWAEM will benefit by your involvement.

Clerkship Directors in Emergency Medicine The “Clerkship Directors in Emergency Medicine” (CDEM), formed in 2008, is the first “Academy” within the membership of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM). CDEM is comprised of medical student educators who are committed to enhancing medical student education within our specialty.

CDEM provides an opportunity for EM clerkship directors and medical student educators to join forces, collaborate, and become a unified voice at the national level.

Join us for many educational driven sessions throughout this years Annual Meeting!

2010 SAEM Annual Meeting Didactic Sessions Thursday, June 3, 2010 Didactic Session handouts available online at saem.org Identifying Best Practices for Training Emergency Medicine Residents in PEM (9:30 – 11:30 am) Robert Cloutier, MD, Oregon Health & Science University Jill Baren, MD, University of Pennsylvania Michele Nypaver, MD, University of Michigan Jennifer Walthall, MD, Indiana University With the emphasis on pediatric care highlighted in the IOM report ‘To Err is Human;” coupled with the rapid growth of Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) as a unique field the current practices for training EM residents in Pediatric Emergency Medicine requires reappraisal. The purpose of this 2-hour session is to use a panel presentation and discussion format to address the following: Address and define the notion of ‘Best Educational Practices for PEM’ by outlining current, models and practices for PEM education in EM Residencies - 25 minutes. - Dr. Baren. Identify current best educational practices offering EM residents exposure to high yield PEM skills.

– Dr. Nypaver. Discuss contemporary and upcoming modes of teaching PEM to general EM residents and the means of incorporating them into current training curricula (i.e. the role of high fidelity simulation…). - Dr. Walthall.

Identify concrete means for promoting and encouraging fellowship training in PEM amongst EM graduates. - Dr. Cloutier. Topics of discussion to be handled during the final 20 minute question and answer session moderated

by Dr. Cloutier will include: 1) exploring means of creating effective models for collaboration across Departments of Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine to optimize the quantity and content of pediatric exposure for EM residents and 2) developing new avenues for collaborative research, both educational and clinical with the goal of identifying measurable outcomes in areas related to the pediatric clinical training of Emergency Medicine residents.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Evaluate the composition of PEM training curricula in US Emergency Medicine residency programs. 2. Identify areas for improvement in PEM training of EM residents with identified best practices in mind.

Educators’ Bootcamp: Surviving Away from the Podium (10:00 – 11:30 am) Esther Choo, MD, University of California (San Francisco)/San Francisco General Hospital Nicole M. Deiorio, MD, Oregon Health and Science University Lalena M. Yarris, MD, MCR, Oregon Health and Science University Lectures are among the least effective means of learning yet constitute the majority of didactic teaching to residents. While a wide variety of alternative teaching methods have been described, instructors are limited by confidence and practice in utilizing them. This session will review common and relatively simple means of interactive, small-group teaching methods that can be used in a variety of settings.

Lalena M. Yarris, MD, MCR will discuss why one should not lecture and the dangers of PowerPoint. She will also review and demonstrate three non-lectures based teaching methods: Inquiry-based learning: This learnercentered format allows educators to identify and meet learner needs based eliciting knowledge gaps and areas of interest. It can be useful for engaging learners in clinical, small group, and large group classroom settings. Problembased learning (PBL): Also a small group, learner-directed method, PBL helps students achieve both process- and content-oriented objectives.

Team learning: Team learning prompts learners to find creative solutions to clinical problems and draws upon peer experience and the group dynamic.

This method is an excellent way to design journal club curricula, procedure labs, and simulation learning experiences. The second portion of the session will include SMALL GROUP BREAKOUT SESSIONS where participants will practice role-playing the instructor/student roles and will receive / deliver feedback on their performance.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Describe three simple non-lecture based methods of teaching. 2. Demonstrate how to apply teaching methods to a variety of clinical educational scenarios under observation. 3. Incorporate feedback on their teaching performance received after an observed practice session.

Evidence to Practice: How Can Emergency Medicine Researchers Drive the Quality Agenda (10:00 – 11:30 am) Christopher Fee, MD, University of California, San Francisco Helen Burstin, MD, National Quality Forum David Magid, MD, Institute for Health Research/Kaiser Permanente James Adams, MD, Northwestern University Emergency medicine (EM) is increasingly shaped by national organizations’ quality measures, such as the Joint Commission Core Measures. Health care reform proposals include a larger role for performance measurement, including expanding their number and tying reimbursement to reporting and/or performance (pay for performance). Early quality measures developed without significant input from emergency physicians were criticized as having weak links to patient outcomes, yet carrying significant burdens on EM practice.

In the interest of increasing academic EM influence on quality measure development and implementation, this session will introduce participants to the current national performance measurement agenda and provide examples of how EM research has shaped such efforts. A representative from the National Quality Forum (NQF, Dr. Burstin, invited) will discuss how the national quality agenda intersects with EM. She will describe which upcoming priorities and projects are likely to affect EM (e.g. imaging, readmission, patient safety, overuse, crowding). Additionally, she will describe how new measures are developed and approved for use by national programs, such as Medicare, and how approved measures are updated. The role of research in these processes will be detailed.(20 minutes) Emergency cardiology researchers will describe how their research influenced national performance measures (30 minutes).

Dr. Fee will describe the tools he used to conduct post-implementation research on the pneumonia antibiotic timing measure (20 minutes).

Panelists will address audience questions (25 minutes).

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Evaluate performance measure and how it is related to pay for performance. 2. Identify how performance measures are developed, approved and modified. 3. Identify how research in emergency medicine can be transformed into performance measures. 4. Perform research on existing quality measures, and how others have attempted to use their work to implement changes in measures.

The Next Match: What EM Departments Want When They Hire (12:30 – 2:00 pm) E. Parker Hays, Jr. MD, Carolinas Medical Center Andra L. Blomkalns, MD, University of Cincinnati Robert Hockberger, MD, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center Aligning the myriad talents of EM residents and faculty applicants with the needs of academic departments results in greater productivity and professional gratification for both groups. How is this done? Combining the experiences of long time program directors and chairs, the moderator and two panelists will discuss real and perceived needs of academic departments, trends in hiring, and how the right individuals are found to fulfill the marketed (and actual) positions. Continually evolving departments will benefit from techniques used in selection, interviewing and landing new faculty, while residents will glean insight into the next world of academics they hope to inhabit in a contributing, sustainable way.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. List major factors considered in interviewing faculty applicants. 2. Describe long term and recent trends in hiring, and gain insight into the actual selection of the persons comprising academic departments today and in the future.

Harnessing the Power of the Internet for Bedside Teaching (12:30 – 2:30 pm) Eddy Lang, MD, University of Calgary Peter Wyer, MD, New York-Presbyterian/Columbia Joel Turner, MD, McGill University Nadim Lalani, MI, University of Saskatoon David Newman, MD, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons Internet access is widely available in the ED setting and can empower bedside teaching by showcasing resources that inform or support clinical reasoning and decision-making. However, many emergency physicians may be unaware of these resources or unfamiliar with their navigation. This workshop will offer a hands-on and practical experience allowing exploration of a wide range of unique resources. Taking advantage of wireless capabilities offered in the conference hotel, workshop participants will be presented with

a series of clinical scenarios / problems which can be resolved through use of unique online electronic resources. Working in small teams and from the laptops that they must bring to the session, participants will be directed to a workshop homepage which will contain an extensive array of links to online resources; some of which will be important for solving the clinical problem they are presented with. They will be given criteria which will enable them to evaluate and select the most appropriate resources for their own purposes.

Small groups of 2-4 participants will work alone initially and then as a team to solve the clinical problem and share their findings with the larger group on a large screen. The course faculty will highlight additional options that were not discovered by the participants. The workshop homepage which will contain over 100 links organized by category, (procedure videos, patient education, EBM resources, clinical calculators, drug interaction detectors etc.) will remain permanently available for participants.

walking participants through one of these programs and how to record.

Participants must bring a fully charged laptop equipped with wireless access to this session.

Teaching Professionalism: More than an Attitude Adjustment (12:30 – 2:00 pm)

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Discover invaluable, pre-appraised and easy to use, online resources that they will integrate in to their teaching (and patient care) repertoire. 2. Practice strategies to rapidly locate high quality evidence and evidence synopses that can address clinical questions that arise during clinical care. 3. Use their own educational institution’s e-classroom to conduct similarly modeled sessions for trainees at all levels and faculty at their institution.

Fixing the Emergency Medicine Research Enterprise (12:30 – 2:30 pm) Judd Hollander, MD, University of Pennsylvania James Adams, MD, Northwestern University David Cone, MD, Yale University Daniel Spaite, MD, University of Arizona What happens when clinicians get saddled with expectations to be researchers, and vice-versa? Can we build our research cadre by having clinicians dabble in research? Should we look at our residents’ scholarly works as education, or academic productivity? How do we generate a meaningful career path for junior researchers, while still allowing them to flourish as clinicians? This session will examine, from several different perspectives, issues surrounding improving the research enterprise of our specialty while still meeting our clinical demands. Dr. Hollander will take the perspective of the department research director looking to develop career researchers while helping the residents meet their scholarly work requirement. Dr. Cone will take the perspective of the journal editor balancing the need to help junior researchers get published while avoiding low-quality work that will not advance the specialty. Dr. Adams will discuss the perspective of the department chair who needs to meet all of these goals financially, while balancing the need to staff the ED and the need to develop researchers who can bring in extramural funding. Finally, Dr. Spaite will present a model identifying four general groups of clinician-scientists in EM. This model is presented to 1) help participants conceptualize how we currently develop researchers in our specialty, 2) help academic leaders understand how to build a cadre of successful faculty, 3) help individual faculty advance their own careers, and 4) help “senior” faculty identify how to support “junior” faculty in their efforts to be successful.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Identify the conflicts and opportunities that the dual clinical / research mission presents.

2. Assess and understand their own academic career trajectories and those of colleagues. 3. Recognize how they can contribute to a department’s clinical and academic missions as a “team player” while still advancing their own careers.

The Nuts and Bolts of Creating an Educational Podcast (12:30 – 2:30 pm) Rob Rogers, MD, University of Maryland Joseph Lex, MD, Temple University Is the lecture dead in medical education? Well, probably not completely. But what has become clear in academics is that adult learners many times prefer online/distance learning and other educational media such as podcasts to the traditional lecture. Increasingly, medical educators are moving their teaching efforts to the internet and other media sources, such as podcasts. In addition, many junior faculty (and even some senior faculty) in academics have some truly great ideas for teaching with podcasts but don’t know how to get started.

With this in mind, we have put together a lecture (combined with a hands-on interactive session) on how to create an educational podcasts and how to implement it. The speakers will review some very basic, yet very important, information on how to get started with this endeavor. The proposal for this session includes an introductory lecture session where audio capture programs and microphone use will be demonstrated. The hands-on version will involve

Participants of this interactive workshop will need to arrive with “Audacity” (a free audio recording program compatible with both Mac and PC) installed on their laptop computers. Please be sure to bring your fully charged PC. Again, this session is for both Mac and PC users. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download. Also, please contact Rob Rogers for additional information and details about this session.

Email: robrogermd@gmail.com At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Describe the benefits of educational podcasts. 2. Discuss the nuts and bolts of creating a podcast and how to get started. 3. Discuss audio pearls and pitfalls and basic “microphone 101”. 4. Describe how to post a podcast and how to link with iTunes.

Sorabh Khandelwal, MD, The Ohio State University College of Medicine Sarah Ronan-Bentle, MD, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine Professionalism stands as one of the six core competencies set forth by the ACGME Outcomes Project which residency programs must integrate into their curriculum. The AAMC Medical School Objectives Project also delineates principles of professionalism which undergraduate medical students are expected to learn prior to graduation. Professionalism requires a distinctive skill set, one which is difficult to teach in the traditional classroom setting.

We will describe a specific model for teaching professionalism, focusing on concepts and techniques that will allow the learner to increase their selfawareness of potential professionalism problems and improve his/her ability to solve them. This framework includes description of ethical principles, role modeling, discussion of case examples, reflection on the learners’ own behavior and evaluation. Integral to this model is the process of Root Cause Analysis typically used for analysis of Medical Errors. We will describe Root Cause Analysis used in the evaluation of lapses in professionalism and provide small group forums for practicing its application. Specific coping strategies for difficult situations will be taught. In this 90 minute course a 45 minute introductory lecture describes the model for teaching professionalism followed by 45 minutes of small group discussion of cases to illustrate the implementation of the teaching framework.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Define the principles of professionalism. 2. Describe the new model of teaching professional behavior. Explain how the process of root cause analysis of medical errors can be applied to evaluation of lapses in professionalism. 3. Describe teachable coping strategies for difficult situations. 4. Perform Root Causes Analysis within small groups.

Beyond Good Intentions: International Emergency Medicine and Sustainable Change (2:00 – 3:30 pm) Kenneth Iserson, MD, University of Arizona C. James Holliman, MD, National Naval Medical Center, Uniformed Services Michelle Biros, MD, University of Minnesota P. Gregg Greenough, MD, MPH, Brigham & Women’s Hospital Emergency physicians have become increasingly involved in all aspects of international medicine: clinical practice, research and education, system development, and policymaking. As we become an integral part of the international medical community, it has become increasingly apparent that ethical issues abound. This interactive panel discussion, using case-based studies, will address ways to identify, avoid, and proactively deal with these unique ethical issues at the individual, institutional and global levels.(Individual cases may vary but a few examples are; a program sends trainees on an international emergency medicine elective. While there they are often asked to perform unfamiliar or futile procedures; individual level ethical issues - case discussion by Dr. Iserson. A US residency program is approached to set up an international elective in collaboration with an institution overseas or vice versa with monetary compensation/incentives for faculty to precept; institutional level ethical issues- case discussion by Dr. Holliman. An EM group decides on a short 5 day global relief mission to a war-ravaged area; global level ethical issues-case discussion.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Recognize situations with potential ethical pitfalls at the individual, institutional and global levels of international emergency medicine. 2. Gain insight and specific skills to identify and ameliorate these dilemmas in future practice.

Resident as Teacher (2:00 – 3:30 pm) Amal Mattu, MD, University of Maryland

Rob Rogers, MD, University of Maryland Jennifer Casaletto, MD, Charlotte Medical Center This 90 minute session will enable the resident to better understand their role as an educator for both medical students and junior residents. The session will review what adult learners expect from clinical teaching as well as obstacles adult learners naturally encounter. Understanding these expectations and obstacles better prepares the junior educator (faculty or resident) to teach on the run. Examples of several different techniques of clinical teaching will be reviewed and demonstrated. These will include but not be limited to the one minute preceptor model, modeling, and directed observation. The long term benefits to the learner, the teacher, the residency and the institution will be identified. Time will be allotted for questions, concerns and comments for educators and learners in the audience.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Describe the expectations of an adult learner. 2. Recognize the various techniques of clinical teaching. 3. Identify the benefits of teaching to both learner and educator.

Research on a Shoestring Budget: Strategies for Conducting Research at Minimal Cost (2:30 – 3:30 pm) Robert J. Hoffman, MD, Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Beth Israel Medical Center Funding for research is a limited resource but this need not prevent research efforts. Having the capability of conducting research with limited funding is useful for both experienced researchers in a resource-restricted environment as well as for less-experienced researchers who are not candidates to compete for research funding. This seminar will review strategies for conducting a study with minimal financing time “on a shoestring budget” so to speak. This will also include methods to reducing the overall time required gain IRB or animal committee approval to begin a project. The speaker will illustrate these strategies by reviewing a small clinical study conducted at an actual cost of US$340. Had cost reduction strategies not been employed, this same study would have cost US$45,000. These strategies include: designing a study to be congruent with budgetary constraints; cost-effective use of laboratory assays; less expensive laboratory assays; free or inexpensive equipment use; obtaining research assistance and consultation services at low or no cost; and design of a “scavenger” study as an addendum to an approved and funded study. The concept of a scavenger study, an additional scientific investigation utilizing resources of another study that would otherwise go unused, will be discussed.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1.Identify the costreduction strategies to minimize study costs. 2. Describe the concept of a scavenger study and how such studies may be conducted at low or no cost and receive expedient research ethics board, institutional review board or animal use committee approval. 3. Review cost-effective use of laboratory assays and services. 4. Recognize less expensive alternatives and efficient use of standard laboratory assays; review methods of obtaining or using equipment and supplies at low or no cost. 5. Review methods of obtaining research assistance and consultation services at low or no cost.

Job-Seeking for Physicians with Interest in a Research Career: What You Should be Looking for and Looking Out for When Considering Employment (2:30 – 3:30 pm) Jeffrey Kline, MD, Carolinas Medical Center Charles Cairns, MD, University of North Carolina School of Medicine Research is increasingly recognized as a necessity in academic medicine.

Unfortunately there exists a growing gap between the need for knowledge creators (i.e., innovation and research) and the shrinking number of qualified researchers. Acquiring and honing research skills as well as fostering a career in research require specific resources, environments and support. To pursue an academic career with a research focus with maximal effectiveness, physicians should thoroughly assess the nature of their own interests, the strengths and shortcomings of their employment options, and the compatibility between their interests and those of potential employers.Such an assessment can be complex and requires consideration of many factors. In this session, EM physicians with highly successful careers in both research and academics will explore these concepts and review the most important considerations to be made when weighing employment opportunities for the physician interested in a research career. These considerations include job responsibilities, resources, mentoring, departmental stability, departmental and institutional missions.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Recognize both sound and unsound reasons for seeking research-related employment. 2. Self assess their strengths and determine their needs with regard to employment

with intent of research career development; recognize characteristics of programs, departments, and positions that are globally conducive to fostering a research career. Recognize characteristics and issues that may identify a position or circumstance likely to fail in research career development.

3. Identify the barriers of recruiting and retaining special emphasis groups including women and minorities in EM research and ways to overcome these barriers.

Incorporating Visual Diagnosis as an Educational Strategy (2:30 – 4:30 pm) David Spiro, MD, Oregon Health and Science University Garth Meckler, MD, Oregon Health and Science University Jason Thurman, MD, Vanderbilt University Medical photography and video production are powerful tools that can be utilized to establish permanence of clinical teaching opportunities encountered in the ED setting. To take advantage of this fertile ground, the clinician educator must be properly equipped and prepared to capture clinical images. This session will explore the means to approach patients, obtain consent, record high quality photographs and video, and incorporate clinical images into educational presentations. Visual diagnosis using digital video and digital photography in the emergency department setting is an exceptional educational opportunity for students, residents, faculty and for community providers. Obtaining quality images and video in the Emergency Department setting can be challenging due to the unstructured nature of this milieu, medico-legal concerns and the potential ethical conflicts of recording vulnerable subjects such as children.

This 120-minute session will be divided into 4 parts. a) Principals of clinical video in the Emergency Department. In this lecture, approaching patients and obtaining informed consent for imaging, proper video equipment and technique, and incorporating video into presentations will be covered. (20 minutes + 5 minute question/answer session) b) Principals of medical photography in the Emergency Department. This lecture will address a) essential photography equipment, b) fundamentals of medical photography including exposure, depth of field, lighting, establishment of view, reproduction ratios, and management of distortion and background and c) the use of clinical images to augment didactic teaching. (20 minutes + 5 minute question/answer session) c) Hands on breakout sessions: For this portion of the workshop, the moderators will set up video and photography stations where participants will gain hands on practice in the use of appropriate video and photographic imaging techniques with the use of models. The photography stations will focus on specialized clinical images of the eyes, face, ears, and hands. (45 minutes) d) Expert modeling: For the final part, the moderators will present a visual diagnosis lecture and will expertly model how to use this medium to educate medical students, residents and faculty. (20 minutes + 5 minute answer/session) At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Identify the tips for success in obtaining informed consent for digital imaging, 2. Obtain quality digital images. 3. Incorporate video and photographic images into educational presentations.

Friday, June 4, 2010 Didactic Session handouts available online at saem.org Expert Strategies for Minimizing Loss to Follow Up in Emergency Medicine Research (9:30 – 11:00 am) Michael Radeos, MD, New York Hospital Queens Jason Haukoos, MD, MSc, Denver Health Medical Center Kathy Carty, PhD, Vantage Point, Inc. Gail D’Onofrio, MD, Yale University Loss to follow up (LTF) is a common obstacle facing researchers. LTF introduces bias, reduces sample size, and limits generalizability. At the 2009 AEM Consensus Conference, “Public Health in the ED,” LTF was identified as one of the primary problems facing EM public health researchers, and more uniformly effective and evidence-based strategies to maximize follow-up was felt to be essential to increasing the success of the field. Experts in our didactic session will discuss strategies EM researchers conducting both public health and other EM studies have used to address barriers to follow up. Attendees will gain new tools to optimize the validity of their studies.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Identify LTF threatens the validity of research. 2. Anticipate potential problems retaining participants and select effective strategies for minimizing LTF across a variety of study designs. 3. Minimize LTF in challenging populations. 4. Handle LTF in data analysis to decrease threats to validity.

Bedside Teaching of Medical Students in Emergency Medicine - An Interactive Workshop

(9:30 – 11:00 am) Louis Binder, MD, University of Nevada School of Medicine Michael Epter, DO, University of Nevada School of Medicine The process of effective bedside teaching is complex, and varies with changes in logistics, available time, content, and expertise of the learner. Mastery of this process is essential to improving one’s teaching skill and reputation as an EM educator; however, these skills are uncommonly explicitly identified or demonstrated. The speakers possess an extensive background and successful track record in bedside teaching in the ED setting. This session will focus on the content, framing, and skills necessary to succeed in bedside teaching, and the dynamics of adjusting the approach based on variations in the teaching setting. Course format will utilize a combination of 1) audience questions and input regarding their specific challenges in bedside teaching as the basis for emphasizing basic concepts, and 2) use of videotaped beside teaching encounters as vignettes to demonstrate techniques and stimulate discussion.

Time and attention will be given to elucidating participants’ concerns and challenges in the bedside teaching process.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Relate key elements of effective bedside teaching. 2. Elaborate the concept of the learning vector, and its application to bedside teaching. 3. Recognize several of the dynamics that occur over the course of a bedside teaching encounter, and options to manage them successfully.

Career Path at University-Affiliated Community Sites: Opportunities and Challenges (11:00 am – 12:00 noon) Andy Jagoda, MD, Mount Sinai School of Medicine Leslie Zun, MD, Chicago Medical School Brigitte Baumann, MD, MSCE, Cooper University Hospital Affiliated faculty in community hospitals plays an increasingly important role in emergency medicine departments and residency training programs.

Faculty working in community settings has unique challenges and obstacles to engaging in academics, academic career advancement, and faculty promotion. Some of these challenges include; higher clinical work expectation with less protected time; fewer interactions with house-staff and medical students; fewer opportunities for interaction with mentors; fewer opportunities for collaborative work on scholarly activity with other academicians. This panel of distinguished leaders in emergency medicine will examine these issues and review potential strategies to overcome these challenges. They will additionally address the importance of capitalizing on the uniqueness of the community hospital experience and demonstrate that this is can be a meaningful career path. The speakers will also discuss the importance of different types of degree programs, as a tool to prepare one for leadership.

The session will be presented in 45 minutes with 15 minutes reserved at the end for audience participation.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Recognize challenges that emergency medicine faculty in affiliated community hospital sites face. 2. Identify how faculty in affiliated community settings might best assess and use resources available to them from their respective medical schools and residency programs. 3. Be aware of strategies to facilitate collaboration and prevent academic isolation within an affiliated community hospital. 4. Be cognizant of the skills and strategies that may assist academic career development as faculty in a community setting.

Remote Damage Control Resuscitation: Concepts, Challenges and Research Opportunities as Trauma Resuscitation Moves into the Outof-Hospital Arena (11:00 am – 12:00 noon) Robert Gerhardt, MD, U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research/Brooke Damage control resuscitation describes an emerging approach to the initial treatment of severely traumatized patients, first pioneered by the military for the treatment of combat casualties. It seeks to rapidly reverse or prevent coagulopathy, hypothermia and acidosis, and employs the early use of blood component replacement along with permissive hypotension prior to initial hemostatic surgery. Preliminary work is being undertaken to examine the feasibility and outcome benefits to be derived from projecting some of these concepts into the out-of-hospital environment, which may hold particular utility in the combat setting, mass casualty planning, or in regionalized EMS systems with protracted trauma transfers from outlying facilities. This lecture will familiarize attendees with the concept of damage control resuscitation, examine its preliminary trials of efficacy in the trauma center setting, examine the potential risks, benefits and obstacles to implementation in the out-ofhospital setting, and initiate discussion of a research agenda and opportunities for collaboration in developing a “remote damage control resuscitation” application.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Review the pathophysiology behind Acute Traumatic Coagulopathy (ATC) and the “Lethal Triad” of coagulopathy, hypothermia and acidosis. 2. Familiarize the audience with principals of damage control resuscitation (DCR) in the severely traumatized patient. 3. Discuss emerging research, controversies and doctrine development associated with projecting DCR into the out-of-hospital environment. 4. Explore opportunities for emergency physician clinicians and researchers to participate in development of this concept, as well as policy that will relate to its fielding.

Improving Pediatric Guideline Implementation: A Workshop in Applied Knowledge Translation (1:00 – 3:00 pm) Eddy Lang, MD, University of Calgary David Johnson, MD, University of Calgary Wyatt Decker, MD, Mayo Clinic Peter Wyer, MD, Columbia University Stewart Wright, MD, University of Cincinnati High quality clinical practice guidelines offer recommendations based upon a synthesis of evidence from clinical research combined with consideration of patient values and preferences. They are costly and require a substantial investment in methodological expertise and stakeholder engagement. The guideline enterprise often falls short of effective translation of knowledge into practice, largely because passive diffusion of guidance through publication is insufficient to achieve change. The field of knowledge translation (KT) is a burgeoning area of research and application aimed at finding optimal routes of system-level evidence uptake. This workshop will begin with an overview of knowledge translation science presented by leaders in the field. These short presentations will be followed by a practical and hands-on collaborative exercise which will allow participants to develop evidence implementation plans in connection with a pre-selected high quality clinical practice guideline in pediatric emergency care. Participants will be divided into breakout groups that will apply KT expertise to specific aspects required for the implementation of the guideline. These will include environmental scanning, barrier identification, multifaceted targeted intervention development, quality improvement dimensions and sustainability. Suggestions and insights developed within each breakout group will be conveyed to all participants during time allotted for feedback from small groups and wrap-up.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Become introduced to the scientific foundations and the abundance of resources that are pertinent to the field of Knowledge Translation aka Implementation Science. 2. Acquire a practical framework for applying KT science in the creation of an evidence implementation project. 3. Gain practical experience in developing such a plan using a current and robust clinical practice guideline in emergency pediatrics.

Innovations in Resident and Medical Student Education (2:00 – 3:00 pm) Nicholas Kman, MD, The Ohio State University College of Medicine Lorraine Thibodeau, MD, Albany Medical Center This 60 minute interactive session will provide educators with a set of new and innovative teaching modalities available to today’s adult learners. A total of four new teaching modalities in undergraduate and graduate medical education will be presented and reviewed. Examples will include new developments in simulation, computer based technology, innovative curricula, testing tools, or evaluation tools. Last year, Clerkship Directors in Emergency Medicine presented a session entitled, “Innovations in Medical Student Curricula”. The session is due to become an annual occurrence as it was well received last year. The lecturers plan on using the knowledge gained by CDEM listserve inquiry and by literature review to present cutting edge educational advances to the SAEM audience. These educational advances will be supplemented with innovations in resident education as solicited from the CORD listserve. Each new teaching advance will be detailed by Drs. Kman and Thibodeau. They will describe the setting in which it is used, the benefits of incorporating it into a curriculum, and the difficulties that have been encountered. After each new technique is presented, time will be allotted to allow for audience questions and feedback. If available, the authors of the educational innovations will be invited to answer questions at the conclusion of the session.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Describe a multitude of innovative teaching modalities available to adult learners. 2. Apprised of cutting edge teaching techniques being used for undergraduate and graduate medical education across the country. 3. Familiar with advantages and drawbacks of different new learning strategies in medical education.

Why Be an Academic Clinical Director?

(3:00 – 4:30 pm) David Levine, MD, Cook County (Stroger) Hospital

Jedd Roe, MD, William Beaumont Hospital Shkelzen Hoxhaj, MD, Baylor College of Medicine, Ben Taub General Hospital The position of Clinical Director offers great rewards, but also poses great challenges. The rewards, largely personal ones, are derived from effective leadership, management and mentorship, resulting in a department that is both collegial and productive internally, and well-respected externally, both within the institution and nationally. The challenges, largely managerial ones, include (1) creating and maintaining a department that effectively balances its missions of patient care, education and research, (2) negotiating support from nursing, the chairman of the department, CEO, and other institutional leaders for initiatives aimed at advancing the department’s goals, (3) getting the buy-in from faculty, residents and other staff necessary to implement programmatic changes, (4) managing the department’s finances (usually in the absence of a business degree) ,(5) dealing with the problems with other essential departments, including people problems, that pose barriers to creating the perfect department., (6) deal with hospital overcrowding and how it affects the ED and the institution. Despite the tremendous challenges faced every day, the role of Clinical Director can be extremely rewarding, both personally and professionally, for individuals who possess (or develop) the skills and traits that are necessary to master the job. A panel of three current or former clinical directors, from different practice settings with different educational backgrounds (MBA, MPH, fellowship), will discuss why they sought the positions in the first place, the personal and professional challenges they have faced, the rewards they have received and, finally, looking back, what they wish they had known before accepting their current positions.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Recognize the role of Clinical Director in an academic setting. 2. Realize the appreciation of the traits and skills necessary to be successful in the role.

Ultrasound for Critically Ill Patients (3:00 – 4:30 pm) David Blehar, MD, University of Massachusetts James Tsung, MD, New York University Langone Medical Center Jason Nomura, MD, Christiana Care Health System While most emergency physicians completing residency in the past decade are familiar with standard applications of bedside ultrasound, such as FAST, early pregnancy, and aortic exams, newer applications that are equally promising may be less familiar. This session is designed to familiarize participants with cutting edge research and newer scanning techniques that may alter their practice at the bedside. The session will focus on three emerging areas of investigation: IVC evaluation, pediatric emergency ultrasound, and emergency cardiac echo. Discussion of the IVC will focus on its measurement in the setting of sepsis, hemorrhagic shock, and CHF. Participants will gain an understanding of the role of respiratory variation of the IVC in various disease states. The pediatric component of the session will focus primarily on the role of ultrasound in resuscitation. Participants will learn how color doppler may be employed to confirm intraosseous needle placement. The session will conclude with a discussion of emergency echocardiography, particularly as it applies to the evaluation of pulmonary embolus. Each lecturer will speak for twenty-five minutes and briefly answer questions afterwards.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: Recognize how to take standard measurements of the IVC and correlate the findings to the patient’s clinical condition. 2. Identify proper uses of bedside ultrasound in the pediatric setting, particularly during resuscitation. 3. Explain how bedside echocardiography may be used to evaluate critical patients including those with suspected pulmonary embolus.

Direct Observation of Competence (DOC) - Why is it Important and How to Develop a Successful Program (3:00 – 4:30 pm) Sorabh Khandelwal, MD, The Ohio State University David Manthey, MD, Wake Forest University Douglas Ander, MD, Emory University Clinical skills are critically important in patient care. Direct observation of learners during actual patient encounters can positively influence their development by providing information that can be used to develop effective formative and summative evaluations. Unfortunately, direct observation of competence (DOC) is rare. Many authors have documented an over reliance by faculty on indirect evidence of clinical skills such as case presentations and simulated patient encounters. There are many reasons that DOC is inconsistently used. Faculty may lack time, be uncertain of how to best evaluate and coach learners on clinical performance, be unaware of the added value of DOC to competency assessment or may lack confidence in their own clinical skills. Models for programs that improve the ability of faculty to participate

in DOC have been published. There is a paucity of literature looking at best practices for the design and implementation of DOC programs designed to promote medical student and resident development. The first 45 minutes of this session will consist of an interactive lecture with video vignettes designed to relay the importance of direct observation. The last 45 minutes will be used to provide the specifics of developing a DOC faculty development session.

This will be achieved through small group discussion with faculty facilitation.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Review current state of physician clinical skills and faculty evaluation skills. 2. Recognize the importance of direct observation by faculty for assessment of clinical skills. 3.

Discuss practical strategies for focused direct observation. 4. Develop/Review rater training methods.

Saturday, June 5, 2010 Didactic Session handouts available online at saem.org Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke: Where are we now, where are we going?

(9:00 – 10:30 am) Nina Gentile, MD, Temple University Christopher Lewandowski, MD, Henry Ford Hospital Edward Jauch, MD, MS, Medical University of South Carolina College of Medicine Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in the United States and the third leading cause of death. The role of the Emergency physician in the management of these patients continues to grow and gain importance for long term patient outcomes. This session is designed to review our current understanding of acute treatment; primarily thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke. As new evidence has accumulated in regards to optimal diagnosis and therapy, it is important to place these into perspective, answer lingering questions, and discuss future directions. In specific there will be 3 lectures followed by a panel discussion that will answer questions and discuss the future of care. The lectures will focus on: (1) the basics of thrombolysis in the 3 hour window, the 3-4.5 hour window, risk stratification, and stroke center certification, (2) the treatment of special populations such as those that are “too good to treat”, the elderly, and those with large strokes, as well as recent controversies, and (3) intravenous (IV) thrombolysis compared to intra-arterial (IA) therapy or combined IV/IA treatment, and new diagnostic techniques.

At the end of this session participants should be to: 1. Identify the indications and contra-indication for thrombolysis in acute stroke. 2. Review patient selection and risk stratification for acute treatment. 3. Recognize various treatment options based on presenting factors. 4. Discuss the new diagnostic and therapeutic options under development Coping with Shift-Work Through the Life Cycle of the Academic Emergency Physician (9:00 – 10:30 am) Michelle Biros, MD, University of Minnesota Rebecca Smith-Coggins, MD, Stanford University Megan Ranney, MD, Brown University Robert Hockberger, MD, Harbor-UCLA Robert Gerhardt, MD, U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research/Brooke Workforce aging and the interplay of persons from varying generations are both issues of high relevance to academic emergency medicine practice. The interplay of “Traditionals,” “Boomers,” “Gen-X’ers” and now, “Millenials” pose particular challenges, yet also provide unique opportunities, for the growth and development of effective academic emergency medicine departments and their faculty groups. There is limited literature on the effect of shift-work on academic emergency physicians. In this didactic session, we will explore existing literature on the impact of shiftwork on health and productivity. We will then discuss the challenges that shiftwork presents to junior, mid-career, and senior academic EPs. Finally, through audience participation, we will begin to articulate a research agenda for the future.

At the end of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Review existing evidence regarding shift work on aging, and intergenerational impacts on academic medical practice. 2. Discuss the unique problems associated with shiftwork in academic emergency medicine. 3. Examine specific perspectives of young, mid-career and senior faculty members. 4. Propose, solicit and discuss educational and research initiatives aimed at identifying EM-specific generational problems and optimizing age-diverse EM faculty groups. 5. Seek to initiate the formulation of a coherent agenda for promoting research and dialogue on this issue.

Becoming an EM Intensivist (10:00 – 11:00 am)

William Knight, MD, University of Cincinnati Julie Mayglothling, MD, Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center Stephen Trzeciak, MD, Cooper University Hospital Emergency Medicine (EM) physicians represent a growing field of individuals interested in the practice of Critical Care Medicine (CCM). Although there is currently an inadequate supply of CCM-trained physicians to meet the increasing need for CCM services in the United States, there have been multiple barriers on the pathway to CCM board certification for EM physicians. Overcoming these barriers could be an important advance for both CCM and EM, and could translate into meaningful improvements in the care of critically ill patients. This didactic session will present the current landscape of CCM training for EM physicians. The session will be a panel discussion with three EM-trained intensivists who practice CCM in academic centers. Dr. William Knight from the University of Cincinnati will moderate the session. Joining him will be Dr. Stephen Trzeciak from Cooper University Hospital and Dr. Julie Mayglothling from Virginia Commonwealth University. In addition to clinical CCM practice, all three panelists are actively involved in research and/or education in EM and CCM. At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Review the controversy surrounding EM physicians practicing critical care - especially as it relates to board certification. 2. Discuss the research opportunities in Critical Care and the collaborative possibilities that exist with Emergency Medicine. 3.

Learn the possible pathways to EM-Critical Care, including EM, EM-IM and Neurocritical Care. Review training and job opportunities that exist nationally.

4.Review the increasing need for intensivists and how Emergency Medicine is a natural fit for the field of critical care.

Advanced Principles of Biostatistics That Everyone Should Know (10:30 – 11:30 am) Roger Lewis, MD, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center Beyond the fundamentals there is a wealth of biostatistical concepts, usually gained by formal graduate training in biostatistics or research methods, that can be considered “pearls” of advanced biostatistics applicable to clinical research to clinical research of various types. This seminar will review some advanced principles of biostatistics, an understanding of which will help an investigator avoid pitfalls in conducting clinical research. The speaker will review the concept of equipoise and how it should guide commencement and completion of clinical trials; adaptive randomization, and how it may be used to adjust the randomization probabilities to reflect the interim results of a trial; alpha spending to allow interim analysis of data without overly inflating false positive error; conditional power to allow early stopping of a trial; and early stopping to allow discontinuation of a futile trial or when statistical significance has been achieved in a positive trial.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Review the concept of equipoise and how it should guide conduct of a study. Discuss the concept of adaptive randomization and how it adjusts probability of randomization in response to the interim results of a trial. 3. Review alpha spending and how it permits appropriate interim analyses. 4. Discuss conditional power and understand how it can allow early stopping for futility or achievement of statistical significance. 5. Review the concepts of early stopping and study extension and how these may save resources and protect research participants.

EMS as a Recognized Subspecialty: Implications for Fellowship Training (11:00 am – 12:00 noon) David Cone, MD, Yale University Jane Brice, MD, University of North Carolina In the mid-1990s, SAEM and the National Association of EMS Physicians jointly authored a core content and a fellowship curriculum for EMS fellowship programs. Several efforts to update the curriculum dating back to 2000 ultimately resulted in organized efforts to secure subspecialty recognition for EMS. In July 2009, the American Board of Emergency Medicine approved an EMS subspecialty application, and that application is now before the American Board of Medical Specialties. Two major components of that application are a revised and updated core content and EMS fellowship curriculum that reflect the greatly expanded scope of practice of today’s EMS physician in terms of clinical, academic (both education and research), and administrative functions. Dr. Cone, who led the development of the EMS subspecialty application, and Dr. Brice, who led the writing of the fellowship curriculum, will discuss the implications of subspecialty recognition for EMS fellowship programs and the academic departments that sponsor them. Two of the most important implications are: 1) eventual ACGME accreditation of EMS fellowship programs, and 2) the significant increase in the volume and scope of the fellowship curriculum, and thus in the time and effort needed to successfully teach and master its contents. This session will allow fellowship

directors, department leaders, and future EMS fellows to begin planning now for the multi-year transition process to formal, accredited fellowship programs.

It will also provide important information for departments that are considering forming an EMS fellowship program, and review the process of developing a formal subspecialty.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Begin planning for the transition from unofficial EMS fellowship programs to ACGME-accredited programs. 2. Describe the ACGME procedures regarding subspecialty programs, and how they will affect existing and new EMS fellowship programs.

3. Identify basic features of the new, expanded EMS fellowship core content and curriculum, and how they relate to the substantial growth in the EMS physician’s scope of practice in recent years.

Simulation-Based Patient Safety Initiatives: Measuring Outcomes at the Patient and System Level (10:30 – 12:00 noon) Rollins (Terry) Fairbanks, MD, University of Rochester Robert Wears, MD, University of Florida Haru Okuda, MD, Institute for Medical Simulation and Advanced Learning Rosemarie Fernandez, MD, Wayne State University School of Medicine Hospital systems throughout the country are coming under increased pressure to implement and assess various patient safety-oriented initiatives. Simulation, broadly defined as any technology which recreates all or part of a clinical experience and / or process, has been aggressively targeted as a potential tool for both mitigating and assessing adverse events in healthcare. This Didactic session (1) describes the evidence behind simulation-based patient safety initiatives, (2) defines and analyzes patient and systems-centered outcomes as they relate to patient safety research, and (3) encourages participants to help define an emergency medicine focused patient safety research agenda that incorporates simulation methodologies. The overall objective of this presentation is to advance an EM-based patient safety research agenda by defining gaps in knowledge and highlighting strategies to measure clinically relevant outcomes. Panel discussion: Panel members will conduct an open discussion with the audience on identifying knowledge gaps, setting a research agenda, and identifying opportunities for research funding in this area.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Realize currently used within hospitals as part of system-wide patient safety initiatives, including non-traditional simulation (discrete event simulations, simulation for IT development, system dynamic simulations). What evidence supports their use? 2. Recognize the challenges associated with assessment of patient safety initiatives? Defining patient and system-level outcomes. 3. Identify strategies and methodologies employed by patient safety researchers? How can they be used to assess the efficacy of simulation-based initiatives? Where are the research gaps? 4. Discuss the simulation as a patient and systemslevel assessment tool: feasibility and challenges.

Faculty Needs for Years 1-3 (12:30 – 2:00 pm) Carey Chisholm, MD, Indiana University O. John Ma, MD, Oregon Health and Science University Newly hired entry level faculty frequently encounter a perplexing workplace that may not overtly provide the guidance or tools to chart an organized faculty development and professional career pathway. There are many conflicting demands on newly hired faculty and a reluctance to say “no” further may further compromise career goals. Establishing a timeline for the first three years and developing a professional mission statement are extremely important to junior faculty. These topics, and others, will be discussed.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Establish a time line of activities for the first 3 years of their career and develop a professional mission statement. Identify the importance of developing mentoring relationships, and their role in establishing such relationships. 2. Define the importance of establishing a career focus niche, and how to nurture the skills required for the niche. 3. Appreciate the importance of career balance between universal faculty obligations and their career development. 4. Be aware of general faculty development opportunities common across all departmental faculty. 5.

Be aware of how to become involved in professional EM organizations, and serve as an effective committee member.

Leadership From Within – Enhancing Your Natural Ability II (12:30 – 2:00 pm) Andra Blomkalns, MD, University of Cincinnati Brian Zink, MD, Brown University Jill Baren, MD, MBE, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania Brian Clyne, IV, MD, Brown University Deb Diercks, MD, University of California, Davis Kate Heilpern, MD, Emory University

Cherri Hobgood, MD, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Jeffrey Kline, MD, Carolinas Medical Center Arthur Pancioli, MD, University of Cincinnati Defined leadership positions in academic medicine are often achieved later in a physician’s career. If effective future leaders are to be cultivated, leadership development and training must start before a position is sought or achieved.

This session will demonstrate how junior faculty, fellows and residents can “lead from within” by developing skills and approaches that enhance their influence and benefit their organization. The session will review the literature on leadership development and present examples of “common sense” early career leadership challenges and opportunities. Faculty will serve to facilitate roundtable discussions for the second portion of the program. Participants will anonymously submit questions via a pre-printed card.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Find strength zones and identifying their niche. 2. Discuss clinical performance leadership.3.

Overcome obstacles and the “Energy Drain” – demanding hours, complex hierarchies, conformation to systems and protocols. 4. Become effectively involved within committees– agendas, time management. 5. Influence and recognition. 6. Communicate challenges and their impact – verbal, email, phone, written.

Beyond the Ambulance Bay: An Introduction to Social Emergency Medicine (3:30 – 5:00 pm) James Gordon, MD, MPH, Harvard Medical School Robert A. Lowe, MD, MPH, Oregon Health and Science University Renee Hsia, MD, Msc, University of California, San Francisco Harrison J. Alter, MD, MS, University of California, San Francisco Complex social forces place the contemporary emergency department in the heart of the health paradox. On the one hand, most are equipped with advanced technology and skilled emergency providers to afford resourceintensive critical care to high-risk patients. On the other hand, millions of people without a viable alternative turn to the ED for basic primary care.

At the same time, regulatory policies and individual health behaviors place sometimes competing demands on emergency services: lax enforcement of farm hygiene regulation leading to an avian flu on the one hand; a syphilis outbreak with no primary care access on the other. Yet despite the power of the forces involved, very little is known as fact about these relationships; today they can only be hinted at.

This session will outline the beginnings of an intellectual framework for Social Emergency Medicine, and offer a glimpse into work already underway in this growing field and a look into its future. We will present the work of Dr. Karin Rhodes using social health screening to improve health care response to important patient self-identified psychosocial and public health risks. Dr. James Gordon will provide some context for the ED as a social welfare institution. Dr. Robert Lowe will discuss his collaboration with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement to reduce “avoidable” ED visits – shifting the focus from so-called “non-emergency” visits (which tends to blame the victims of a health care system that fails to provide alternative sites of care), to upstream interventions to reduce the burden of illness and injury that require ED use. Dr. Renee Hsia will present data on socioeconomic disparities within the structure of the medical care system. The session will be moderated by Dr. Harrison Alter, Executive Director of the Andrew Levitt Center for Social Emergency Medicine in Berkeley, California.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. define Social Emergency Medicine and identify its key concepts, 2. be familiar with examples of current and past work hewing to the themes of Social Emergency Medicine, and 3. be inspired to consider driving the field forward with research with a like orientation.

Bottlenecks in Patient Throughput: Applying Queuing Theory to Identify and Manage ED Flow (3:30 – 5:00 pm) Jedd Roe, MD, William Beaumont Hospital Jeff Desmond, MD, University of Michigan Health System Queuing theory is a set of mathematical tools that allows operations managers to find solutions to problems in matching fixed resources to random demand environments. Bottlenecks of patient flow in the ED are often due to similar random demands, and queuing theory allows analysis that can provide solutions to common questions such as: a) How many nurses do I need at triage during a particular time of day? b) How many CT scanners are needed for my ED’s patient volume? c) How many beds do I need in the new ED my hospital is building? d) Can I justify adding more physician coverage to my ED? At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Apply the mechanics

of these operation manager techniques using real-world examples.

The speakers for this session would like to provide real-life examples using your data! If you would like to have your ED’s data used in the model to determine how best to match demand to your ED capacity/ resources (e.g. staffing, rooms or triage bays needed, etc) for your ED, please contact: jedd.roe@beaumont.edu.

Sunday, June 6, 2010 Didactic Session handouts available online at saem.org Improve Your Teaching: Evidence-Based Teaching Workshop Using Articles That Will Change Your Teaching Practice (8:00 – 10:00 am) Sally Santen, MD, Emory School of Medicine Robin Hemphill, MD, Emory School of Medicine Susan Farrell, MD, Harvard Medical School Wendy Coates, MD, Harvard Medical School This workshop will be to use the evidence from some landmark education articles to develop strategies to improve our teaching. The major concepts include the evidence on how to: (1) develop expertise by understanding what differentiates an expert from a novice (2) recognize how we utilize prior knowledge and active learning to improve learning and memory (3) improve medical decision making by using both clinical reasoning and pattern recognition (4) understand the limitations of self-assessment. The evidence will be briefly presented, then, in small groups the participants will plan learning or assessment exercises from their own setting. The workshop will be highly interactive, requiring participants to use both the evidence and apply it to their teaching, learning and assessment practices. The workshop will incorporate large and small group exercises to understand the concepts and develop ways to improve each participant’s teaching skills.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Recognize evidence in these areas for effective teaching and assessment. 2. Take home strategies for improving their teaching using and develop a plan for how they will incorporate the evidence into their teaching practice.

The Need for Real Time Minimally Invasive Hemodynamic Monitoring in the ED (8:00 – 9:30 am) Richard Nowak, MD, Henry Ford Hospital Joseph Garcia, MD, Henry Ford Hospital Frank Peacock, MD, Cleveland Clinic Emergency physicians evaluate and treat many patients with acute disease states without objective measurements of their underlying hemodynamic profile. Clinical assessments of acute hemodynamic variables have been shown to be inaccurate. Real time trending of a patient’s hemodynamics is a critical part of optimal patient management. This session will describe why it is so important to have objective real time continuous hemodynamic monitoring available. Three specific diseases, acute stroke, acute CHF, and sepsis, will be discussed with each author discussing a specific disease and related monitoring methods.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Recognize the need for non invasive hemodynamic monitoring in these specific areas. 2.

Identify non invasive hemodynamic technologies that they have worked with.

3. Define future areas of uses and research opportunities in these areas Injury Centers: Opportunities for Emergency Medicine (8:00 – 9:30 am) Jeff Coben, MD, West Virginia University Rebecca Cunningham, MD, University of Michigan Debra Houry, MD, Emory University Course description: Injuries account for approximately one-third of ED visits and result in significant morbidity and mortality. This public health problem was highlighted at the AEM’s 2009 Consensus Conference on Public Health.

This session will highlight the important role of EM in injury prevention and control and highlight three leaders that will discuss how injury centers strengthen academic EM on their respective campuses. Injury centers are multidisciplinary centers that encompass acute care, as well as the prevention and control of unintentional and intentional injuries. These centers can be hospital, foundation, or federally funded. A center infrastructure can promote research and education in a specific field and result in additional funding and training opportunities. Specifically, injury centers can pull together investigators across disciplines to tackle important public health problems, mentor budding researchers, and train the next generation of injury professionals. Dr. Coben will discuss what centers do and the different models of centers, Dr. Cunningham

will discuss the history of centers and different funding opportunities. Dr. Houry will discuss the role of academic emergency medicine in injury centers and applying for a CDC center grant.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Integrate their research interests into an injury center structure. 2. Be aware of funding opportunities for injury research and education; 3. Expand injury research into a multidisciplinary collaboration.

Debriefing Simulation-Based Encounters: A Practical Guide for Medical Educators (9:00 – 10:30 am) Douglas Ander, MD, Emory University Corey Heitz, MD, Wright State University, Boonshoft School of Medicine Christopher Strother, MD, Mount Sinai School of Medicine Rosemarie Fernandez, MD, Wayne State School of Medicine Sharon Griswold-Theodorson, MD, Drexel University College of Medicine Torrey Laack, MD, Mayo Clinic Simulation provides a broad array of educational methodologies that are being employed throughout different educational levels and across healthcare disciplines. Scenario design that is inappropriate to the level of the learner or that targets higher-level cognition can be confusing to students. Additionally, debriefing techniques suited to more advanced learners are ineffective and often counter-productive when applied to undergraduate students. The purpose of this workshop is to promote a methodologically sound approach to scenario design and debriefing for medical students.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Describe the pros and cons of different evidence-based approaches to simulation design and debriefing for undergraduate learners. 2. Design a Human Patient Simulation (HPS) - based scenario to support curricular objectives for undergraduate healthcare students. 3. Identify and master appropriate debriefing techniques based upon the skill level of the learner and the educational objectives of the simulation.

Developing Young Faculty Investigators (9:30 – 10:30 am) John Younger, MD, University of Michigan William Barsan, MD, University of Michigan John Marx, MD, Carolinas Medical Center While career development of junior faculty in emergency medicine is an ongoing emphasis of SAEM, there has been little formal discussion of the unique problems of developing researchers. Specifically, the experience of leadership within the specialty in bringing a fellow or junior faculty through the development process that ultimately produces an NIH-funded investigator is very limited. The goal of this session will be to highlight the challenges associated with this enormous faculty development challenge. While the audience includes junior faculty and residents, the key target of the conversation is senior membership who participate in junior faculty development. Specifically, two chairs who have successfully transformed research fellows into R01funded independent investigators will discuss their approach to this problem.

Two chairs will participate, and have been chosen to represent very different academic environments. The session will be moderated to both field audience questions and to pursue these issues: a) protected time, how to assign it, and how and when to pay for it, b) assigning and deflecting non-research admin responsibilities, c) allocating start up funds.

At the end of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Define administrative issues surrounding the development of fellows and junior faculty into career researchers.

The “Other” Study Designs (9:30 – 10:30 am) Edward Panacek, MD, University of California, Davis Beyond the most common study designs of randomized trials, cohort and case-control studies, there are several other important study designs that are not as well known and less commonly used. They can be very useful tools to help address certain research questions that are not readily approached using the most common designs. For clinical researchers, knowledge of these other designs provides greater flexibility when developing study protocols.

Ambispective, nested, ecologic, historical-controls, factorial and case-cohort study designs will be described, compared and contrasted. Applied examples, from published research in the EM field will be provided for each design.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Define several different and uncommon study designs. 2. Recognize appropriate applications for each of the designs. 3. Identify examples of each design used in EM studies.

Using Deliberate Practice to Address Cognitive Error (10:00 am – 12:00 noon) Robin Hemphill, MD, Emory University Sally Santen, MD, Emory University Felix Ankel, MD, Regions Hospital Jeff Love, MD, Washington Hospital Center One strategy for error prevention is the use of deliberate practice. This is the intentional focus on processes that might prevent errors incorporating experiences and feedback to gain and learn from them. Discussions of medical error require a structured approach that can focus on the individual as well as the heuristics and biases that may have led to error. While it is easy to place individual blame for such errors, in fact some patterns of bias are well recognized and can occur to any provider regardless of how outstanding the normal individual performance may be. This session will briefly review categories of cognitive error and then will discuss how deliberate practice may be used to recognize, understand and react in ways that may prevent such errors. This workshop will be interactive using activated learning and small group discussions. The presenters on this session will pull upon participants’ experience and as well as theory to provide practical strategies for teaching residents to avoid errors. The intended outcomes for this workshop are for participants to use new strategies for approaching cognitive errors using reflection. Participants will be able to take these skills back to their institutions to deepen the discussions of medical errors through reflection and deliberate practice.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Research evidence supporting deliberate practice. 2. Identify major types of cognitive errors.

Supersonic Teaching: Innovations in Ultrasound Education (10:30 am – 12:00 noon) J. Christian Fox, MD, University of California, Irvine Beatrice Hoffmann, MD, Johns Hopkins James Moak, MD, University of Virginia For many trainees instruction in ultrasound occurs only in the ED, where teaching is limited by the availability of an attending and an interesting patient to scan. Additionally, most teaching in ultrasound occurs during residency, long after the lessons of gross anatomy have faded. This session will highlight creative advances in ultrasound education that extend beyond teaching residents at the bedside. Lecturers will discuss ultrasound phantoms (gel models), both homemade and commercial, virtual ultrasound, and how to integrate ultrasound into a four-year medical school curriculum. What’s the best recipe for “ultrasound Jello”? How good and how expensive is an ultrasound “simulation man”? What are the best on-line resources for teaching ultrasound? What’s the best way to teach “sonoanatomy” to a firstyear medical student? These questions and more will be addressed by the experts in a series of three lectures, each twenty-five minutes in length: 1) Ultrasound Phantoms: Where the Gel Meets the Jello; 2) Virtual Ultrasound: Web-based Learning and Simulation Scanning; and 3) Integrating Ultrasound into a Medical School Curriculum. Time will be available after each lecture for questions from the audience. Don’t miss this supersonic session!

By the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Make their own ultrasound gelatin phantom and will have an appreciation of commercially available phantoms and models. 2. Participants will be able to utilize web-based resources for teaching ultrasound. 3. Identify how they may begin integrating ultrasound into a medical school curriculum at their home institutions.

“Are My Residents OK?” - Maximizing Resident Wellness in 2010 and Beyond (10:30 am – 12:00 noon) Rebecca Smith-Coggins, MD, Stanford University Michael Epter, DO, University of Nevada Robert McNamara, MD, Temple University Karl Nibbelink, MD, Temple University The course will be divided into three 25 minute sessions, followed by a 15 minute moderated panel discussion. During the first session, Dr. McNamara will focus on resident wellness and career longevity by addressing common work and non-work stressors for EM residents and attending, and how they can be avoided or minimized. Dr. Smith-Coggins will focus on recognizing the signs and symptoms of resident fatigue, and propose effective methods (e.g. optimal length and number of night shifts, strategic use of caffeine and naps) from published literature that can be integrated into a wellness plan. During the third session, Dr. Nibbelink will address the issue of substance abuse and its impact on resident performance and well-being. Participants will be provided with suggestions for recognizing and responding to warning signs

of substance abuse, as well as resources available to residents and faculty with substance abuse issues. The moderated panel discussion (led by Dr. Epter) following the third session will provide participants an opportunity to ask questions and/or share strategies that have had a positive effect in their home programs on resident wellness.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Effectively appraise the components of resident wellness and career longevity. 2. Formulate and implement a plan to reduce resident fatigue. 3. Identify resources for residents and faculty to provide assistance to those with substance abuse problems (e.g. state physician health programs). 4. Integrate strategies for optimizing resident wellness into their practice and residency program.

Mentorship in Action: Benefits and Techniques (10:30 am - 12:00 noon) Gus Garmel, MD, Stanford University Yvette Calderon, MD, Albert Einstein College of Medicine Wendy Coates, MD, Harbor-UCLA Marianne Haughey, MD, Albert Einstein College of Medicine Mentorship is an essential component to the well run career in EM. This course is designed as a panel discussion, with an accompanying breakout session into smaller groups. The target audience will involve all levels of EM, as the benefits of becoming a mentor as well as the benefits of having a mentor will be discussed. Each faculty member will give a short presentation geared to one of the core objectives. Discussion will provide an introduction to the concept of mentoring for clinician-educators and the attributes of an effective mentor relationship, highlighting the benefits of becoming a mentor for one’s career satisfaction. An approach to identifying, establishing, and maintaining a mentoring relationship will be discussed. The challenges facing those establishing a mentor relationship will be addressed, specifically the

pertinent issue regarding mentoring across gender and cultural boundaries.

An evaluation of resources available for the mentors will also be provided.

After each presenter provides a short discussion on their objective topic of about 15-20 minutes, there will be a small groups session divided by level of academic rank with appropriate facilitators and rank coordinators to discuss further the rank specific issues of mentorship.

At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Discuss the attributes of a good and effective mentorship relationship and how to institute those qualities in the relationship. 2. Apply the general principles of the mentoring relationship tailored to the appropriate mentee level. 3. Discuss the benefits of becoming a mentor. Incorporated in this will be the benefit of long term career “wellness” and satisfaction received by the mentor. 4. Discuss the concept of mentoring “those not like us”. ie, men mentoring women, women mentoring men, those of Caucasian background mentoring minorities. 5.

Address concerns that can be anticipated so that the mentoring relationship can then run smoothly. 6. Identify various roles that a mentor can play and the responsibilities of the mentor in creating a successful relationship. 4.

Discuss resources available to mentors such as literature, computer advising programs, etc.

Late Breaking Abstracts How Many Intubations are Necessary to be Competent?

Lawrence E. Kass, Lyudmyla Lysenko, Josh Laird Penn State University/Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Baptist St. Anthony’s Health System, Penn State College of Medicine Background: The Residency Review Committee (RRC-EM) requires graduating EM residents to have performed, on average, 35 endotracheal intubations as part of the process to deem them competent to independently perform this procedure. This number has never been rigorously evaluated. There is also no requirement that a certain number of these be difficult intubations.

Objective: To determine the number of difficult and not-difficult intubations necessary to achieve and maintain an acceptable success rate. Methods: This study was performed in a university-based tertiary care hospital with a 3-year EM residency and a total of 24 EM residents. Residents were required to log all intubations attempted in the clinical arena, including whether the patient was identifiable a priori as difficult and whether they were successful.

Difficult airways were defined by American Society of Anesthesiology criteria as having any 1 of 5 elements: limited cervical mobility (e.g. arthritis, c-collar), obstruction (e.g. blood), facial anomalies (e.g. abnormal dentition), obesity, or age (<5 or >55). Success was defined as correct placement by the first attempting resident in 3 or fewer tries. Success rates for both difficult and notdifficult airways were analyzed after 12, 16, 20, 24, and 36 months of training.

Results: 890 intubation attempts (275 difficult, 614 not difficult) were logged over 30 months. Residents achieved and maintained a success rate of 98.3% (0.95 CI 97.7-98.9%) for not difficult intubations after 12 months of training and an average of 29 intubations. Residents achieved a success rate of 94.8% (0.95 CI 92.3-97.3%) for difficult intubations after 36 months of training and an average of 59 intubations (of which 17 on average were difficult).

Conclusions: Residents can achieve and maintain an acceptable success rate for not-difficult intubations after 29 cases and for difficult intubations after 59 cases. This supports the current RRC recommendation of 35 intubations for most cases but suggests a larger number may be needed for competency with difficult cases.

Integration of Sonography into the Medical School Anatomy Curriculum David Way, Robert Dehilip, Anna Ziegler, Mary Sandquist, David Bahner, Kevin O’Rourke Ohio State University, Ohio State University Hospital Objectives: The portability of ultrasound makes it a practical imaging tool for teaching Gross Anatomy. The purpose of this project is to explore the impact of introducing ultrasound to first year medical students during the anatomy course.

Methods: Firstyear medical students were surveyed to assess demographic information and experience with formalized training in ultrasound. Students were asked to categorize their ultrasound experience from novice to advanced. Students were asked about their level of interest (1low to 5high) and perceived skill/experience with ultrasound tasks (1 very unskilled to 5very skilled) utilizing a 5point Likert scale. During the anatomy course, two 1hour lectures and 3 handson sessions were incorporated into the curriculum. All students could participate and save their ultrasound images as part of a digital portfolio. Test questions over ultrasound concepts were included on the anatomy examinations. Exam performance over ultrasound concepts in anatomy were evaluated. Results: One hundred fortyone students out of 222 (63.5%) completed the preintervention survey. The average age was 23 and most of the students described themselves as novice learners (94.4%). The average interest level in ultrasound was 3.06. Most students felt unskilled in turning on the machine (1.52), using B mode (1.12), understanding basic ultrasound physics (1.94) and performing a FAST scan (1.02). Conclusions: Ultrasound has become a convenient bedside tool to determine relative anatomic relationships. The formal integration of ultrasound into medical education has not been consistently established across U.S. medical schools.

This project intended to complement anatomy training with the imaging capability of ultrasound. These novice students participated in the handson sessions and saved images as part of a digital portfolio. Future studies could look at the impact of early ultrasound within medical school education and its impact on learning human anatomy.

Towards Prevention of Acute Lung Injury: Identification of Emergency Department Patients at Risk Peter Chuanyi Hou, Marie Carmelle Elie-Turenne, Vicki D. Norton, Angela Meyer, Jason Erik Cohen, Ognjen Gajic, Nina Gentile Brigham and Women’s Hospital, University of Medicine and Dentistry-New Jersey Medical School, Temple University Hospital, Mayo Clinic Objective: Early identification of patients at high risk of developing Acute Lung Injury (ALI) is critical for potential preventative strategies. We aimed to derive and validate an acute Lung Injury Prediction Score (LIPS) in a multicenter sample of hospitalized patients. Methods: We performed an observational cohort study of 5584 patients, of which 4194 were admitted from the emergency department (ED), across 22 centers. Predisposing conditions (aspiration, pneumonia, sepsis, shock, emergency surgery, and high risk trauma: lung contusion, multiple rib fractures, traumatic brain injury, smoke inhalation, and neardrowning) and clinical and physiological risk factors associated with ALI development were identified. LIP scores were derived and validated from logistic regression analyses. Discrimination of the model was assessed with Area Under receiver operating Curve (AUC) and compared to the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) score.

Results: The incidence of ALI in the ED subgroup was 6.9% (291/4194) and varied according to underlying acute condition. LIPS discriminated patients who developed ALI from those who did not with an AUC of 0.81 (95%CI 0.78, 0.83). In contrast, the APACHE II score had limited prognostic accuracy for ALI development (AUC 0.69, 95%CI 0.66, 0.72, p<0.009 compared to LIPS).

At a LIPS cut off of 4 (range 013.5), positive and negative likelihood ratios (95%CI) for ALI development were 2.9 (2.7, 3.2) and 0.36 (0.3, 0.46), with a sensitivity of 0.73 (0.68, 0.78), specificity of 0.75 (0.74, 0.76), and a positive predictive value of 0.18 (0.16, 0.20). Conclusion: LIPS identifies ED patients at high risk for ALI development early in the course of their ED presentation and hospitalization. The criteria incorporated into LIPS better predict ALI than the traditional method of APACHE scoring. This new model may identify atrisk patients to optimize treatment and also recognize targets for future ALI prevention trials.

Randomized Clinical Trial of Alfentanil versus Propofol for Procedural Sedation in the Emergency Department James R. Miner, Richard O. Gray, Roma Patel, David Plummer Hennepin County Medical Center Objective: To compare the short acting opioid alfentanil to propofol for ED procedural sedation (PS). We hypothesize there is no difference in the time of the procedure, the degree of respiratory depression, or pain between PS using alfentanil and propofol. Methods: This was a randomized clinical trial of adult patients undergoing PS in the ED. Patients were randomized to receive alfentanil 10 ug/kg followed by 5 ug/kg every 3 minutes as needed (ALF), or propofol 1 mg/kg followed by 0.5 mg/kg every 3 minutes as needed(PRP).

Doses, vital signs, end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2), and pulse oximetry were recorded.

Supportive airway measures (SAM) used during the procedure (bag-valve mask use, airway repositioning, or increased supplemental oxygen) were recorded. Post procedure, patients were asked to report any pain perceived during the procedure and recall of the procedure. Data were compared using 95% confidence intervals and chi square tests. Results: 50 patients were enrolled, 25 received ALF and 25 received PRP. No significant adverse events were noted. The median total dose of ALF was 20.0 ug/kg, (range 12.9 to 32.6) and PRP was 1.5 mg/kg (range1.0 to 3.3)). The mean time of the procedure was 12.7 minutes (95% CI=9.5 to 15.9) for ALF and 13.0 (95%CI=10.4 to 15.6) for PRP. The mean change in EtCO2 from baseline was 9.5 mmHg (95%CI=4.1 to 14.9) for ALF and 8.7 mmHg (95%CI=3.5 to 14.0) for PRP. An oxygen saturation <92% was seen in 3/25 (12%) for ALF and 1/25 (4%) for PRP (p=0.20). SAM were noted in 3/25 (12%) for ALF and 5/25 (20%) for PRP (p=0.17). 5/25 ALF patients and 1/25 PRP patients reported pain with the procedure (p=0.04). 10/25 ALF patients and 2/25 PRP patients reported recall of the procedure (p=0.01). Conclusions: We did not detect a difference in time of procedure, change from baseline EtCO2, hypoxia, or SAM. There were higher rates of pain and recall in the Alfentanil group. Alfentanil appears to be a safe single agent for PS.

Impact of Process Flow Tool on Wait Times from Emergency Department to ICU Pratik Doshi, James J. McCarthy, Yashwant Chathampally, David J. Robinson University of Texas Medical School at Houston Delays in ICU transfer from the ED contribute to worsening ED overcrowding and more ED resources. ICU admits left waiting for a bed in the ED are also cited to have longer hospital length of stays (HLOS), and higher in-house mortality. The phase objectives of this trial are: (1) In Phase 1:Compare the outcomes of medical ICU admissions between those with ED to ICU wait times < 4 hours with those > 4 hours, and (2) in phase2: compare similar outcomes after introducing a qualifying admissions tool designed to reduce wait times to admission. Methods: Prospective case controlled trial from 2/08-2/10 in urban University teaching hospital with 65,000 ED visits. Case control and outcomes data obtained from hospital’s EMR. For phase 2, an admission prequalifying checklist, standardized nurse documentation, and accelerated bed management process redesign was introduced. Results: In phase 1: 659 ED to ICU patients identified had mean time from ED-ICU of 5.53 ± 5.16 hours, with overall HLOS of 9.52 days, ICU LOS 4.46 days, and mortality of 15%.

For the less<4 hour cohort (N=345), the mortality rate was 14%, HLOS was 8.91 d, ICU LOS 4.51 d. For >4 hour cohort, mortality rate 17%, HLOS 10.19 d, ICU LOS was 4.41 days. Phase 2: 258 ED to ICU patients identified had a mean time of 3.75 ± 4.16 hours, a reduction of 33%, p<0.001, and < 4 hour transfer times from ED to ICU rose from 52% to 76%, the overall mortality was 17%(p=0.58), HLOS was 8.52(p=0.18), ICU LOS was 3.84(p=0.16).

For the less <4 hour cohort (N=197), the mortality was 15%(p=0.77), HLOS 8.21 d(p=0.38), ICU LOS 3.63 d(p=0.09). For the >4 hour cohort (N=61), the mortality was 23%(p= 0.11), HLOS 9.54 d (p=0.73), and ICU LOS 4.51 d(p=0.90). Conclusions: Hospital process delays significantly contribute to ED boarding times. The introduction of an ED based process tool can reduce ED to ICU wait times, allowing for maximal efficiency and utilization of a limited resource. Even though the mortalities and length of stay are similar in phase 1 and 2 for the individual cohort, in phase 2 greater percentage of patients fall

into the lower mortality and lower length of stay group, which in turn translates into potential lives saved and definite total decreased overall HLOS and ICU LOS. Given the short time for this intervention, hospitals considering new quality assurance projects might consider this process initiative a worthy one.

Emergency Medicine Resident Physicians Reported Satisfaction, Identified Stressors, and Well being Activities: Results from the ABEM Longitudinal Study of Emergency Medicine Residents Debra G. Perina, Kelly Gurka, Robert E. O’Connor University of Virginia School of Medicine Introduction: The American Board of Emergency Medicine Longitudinal Study of Emergency Medicine Residents (LSEMR) queries a randomized cohort of EM residents yearly. It is designed to identify residents’ goals, motivation and effects of training on well being and satisfaction changes over time.

Methods: Data from 2006 LSEMR survey was analyzed regarding career choice, identified stressors, professional goals, and wellbeing. Responses were reported using a 5 point Likart scale. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze results. Results: There were 169 respondents, 69% male. Twentytwo percent selfidentified as a minority. Reported satisfaction with current training is high (98%) with EM having met most or all expectations (90%). Residents tended to describe themselves as active, strong, open, and successful. Ten percent reported their residency did not meet desired expectations most of the time. A significant number (18%) considered transfer to another EM program, with 10% seriously considering in the next year. Most commonly cited stressors were: knowing enough (59%), keeping up with medical literature (46%), ancillary support services (47%), having enough time for personal life (38%), hospital politics (34%), nursing staff (34%), and having time for family (32%). Twenty –two percent reported health concerns, with 10% noting no regular exercise and 54% reported exercising 1 time a week or less. Most common leisure activities include spending time with family/ friends, travel, music, and cooking. Discussion: Overall satisfaction with specialty remains

Four Brief Screening Instruments to Identify Cognitive Dysfunction in Older Emergency Department Patients Christopher Robert Carpenter, Elizabeth Bassett, Grant Fischer, Jonathan Shirshekan Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine, Rockhurst University Background: Cognitive dysfunction (dementia and/or delirium) is present in one-third of geriatric emergency department (ED) patients. Prior studies have failed to validate sufficiently sensitive ED-appropriate screening instruments.

Objective: To validate and compare the ED diagnostic test performance for four dementia screening instruments in geriatric adults: the caregiver administered AD8, Brief Alzheimer’s Screen (BAS), Short Blessed Test (SBT), and the Ottawa 3DY (O3DY). Methods: A cross-sectional convenience sampling was conducted at one urban medical center ED. Eligible subjects were consenting English-speaking patients over age 65-years who had not received potentially sedating medications. A trained research assistant administered the criterion standard Mini Mental Status Exam along with the BAS, SBT, and Ottawa 3DY

to the subject. The Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) was administered to identify delirium. Concurrently, when present a caregiver completed the AD8. Results: Among the 163 subjects, 39% were male, mean age 78-years, 2.7% self-reported previously diagnosed dementia and 60% were admitted. Enrolled subjects did not differ from non-enrolled subjects by age or gender. Cognitive dysfunction (MMSE ≤ 23) was identified in 37%, including 5.5% with delirium. The BAS, SBT, and O3DY all demonstrate excellent and equivalent sensitivity for cognitive dysfunction. The BAS had sensitivity 95%, specificity 52%, and AUC 0.921 (95% CI 0.875-0.967) compared with the SBT sensitivity 95%, specificity 65%, and AUC 0.912 (95% CI 0.863-0.961) and the O3DY sensitivity 97% and specificity 52%. Caregivers completed the AD8 in 60% with sensitivity 83%, specificity 63%, and AUC 0.814 (95% CI 0.7340.893). The SBT, BAS, and O3DY also identified all subjects with delirium.

The diagnostic test characteristics for all four instruments did not change when the nine delirium subjects were excluded.Conclusions: Dementia and delirium are prevalent among general geriatric ED patients. The SBT, O3DY, and BAS are all brief and sensitive instruments to differentiate subjects with cognitive dysfunction. They also identify most subjects with delirium.

SAEM Lightning Oral Presentations June 3-6, 2010 •Grand Canyon Ballroom 2

As our specialty continues to blossom with bigger, bolder, and more impressive research than ever, it is becoming increasingly more vital to showcase our talent in fresh and inventive ways. To meet that demand, the Program Committee is pleased to announce this year a new oral presentation format. A pilot program, the Lightning Orals, which is meant to complement the traditional orals sessions we currently use as we begin to shift away from poster boards into a more technologically and spectator friendly era.

So as you peruse the selection of abstracts and sessions to attend, please keep in mind all your options as we will now have four diverse ways in which to visualize and listen to our colleagues’ research: the long oral format, the moderated posters, the poster sessions in the large hall, and the lightning orals.

Each provides a different and unique experience. Enjoy.Tired of recycling the same lectures? Want to see the cutting-edge of teaching in Emergency Medicine?

Although not necessarily new to the national circuit, these lightning orals maximize the spotlight on the individual, allowing as many presenters the opportunity to share their research with us. Unlike the traditional oral session, where every presenter is given 10-15 minutes to present his/her work, in this new Lightning Oral session, the presenter is allowed a 3 slide maximum (6 minutes total) to discuss their work, not including title and disclosure slide. Each abstract is grouped with other similar abstracts, and presented in a separate session just like the traditional orals and moderated posters. Afterwards, a brief time will be made available for questions.

Call for Propsals • 2013 AEM Consensus Conference Submission deadline: April 15, 2011 The editors of Academic Emergency Medicine are now accepting proposals for the 14th annual AEM Consensus Conference to be held on May 15, 2013, the day before the SAEM Annual Meeting in Atlanta.

Proposals must advance a topic relevant to emergency medicine that is conducive to the development of a research agenda, and be spearheaded by thought leaders from within the specialty. Consensus conference goals are to heighten awareness related to the topic, discuss the current state of knowledge about the topic, identify knowledge gaps, propose needed research, and issue a call to action to allow future progress. Importantly, the consensus conference is not a “state of the art” session, but is intended primarily to create the research agenda that is needed to advance our knowledge of the topic area.

Previous topics have included and will include (2011): • 2000: Errors in emergency medicine • 2001: The unraveling safety net • 2002: Quality and best practices in emergency care • 2003: Disparities in emergency care • 2004: Information technology in emergency medicine • 2005: Emergency research without informed consent • 2006: The science of surge • 2007: Knowledge translation • 2008: Simulation in emergency medicine • 2009: Public health in the emergency department: surveillance, screening, and intervention • 2010: Beyond regionalization: integrated networks of emergency care • 2011: Interventions to assure quality in the crowded emergency department Well-developed proposals will be reviewed on a competitive basis by a sub-committee of the AEM editorial board. The 2012 AEM Consensus Conference topic will be announced at the SAEM Annual Business Meeting during the 2010 annual meeting in Phoenix. Proceedings of the meeting and original contributions related to the topic will be published exclusively by AEM in its special topic issue in December, 2012.

Submitters are strongly advised to review proceedings of previous consensus conferences, which can be found in the past November issues of AEM, to guide the development of their proposals. All prior consensus conference issues are available free of charge online. Submitters are also welcome to contact the journal’s editors or leaders of prior consensus conferences with any questions.

Proposals must include the following: 1. Introduction of the topic • brief statement of relevance • justification for this topic choice 2. Proposed conference chairs, and sponsoring SAEM interest groups or committees (if any) 3. Proposed conference agenda and proposed presenters • plenary lectures • panels • breakout topics and questions for discussion and consensus-building 4. Anticipated audience • stakeholder groups/organizations • federal regulators • national researchers and educators • others 5. Anticipated budget, to include such items as: • travel costs • audiovisual equipment and other materials • publishing costs (brochures, syllabus, journal) • meals 6. Potential funding sources and strategies for securing conference funding.

How to submit your proposal.

This pertains to relationships with pharmaceutical companies, biomedical device manufacturers, or other corporations whose products or services are related to the course content. The intent of this policy is identifying potential conflicts of interest so participants can form their own judgments with full disclosure of the facts. It remains for the participants to determine whether the speaker’s outside interest reflect a possible bias in either the exposition or the conclusions presented.
