2015 ANNUAL MEETING
Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina
May 12-15, 2015
WELCOME TO THE SAEM ANNUAL MEETING!
The week’s Meeting will be exciting because it has more research presentations, more didactic sessions and more innovations
than we have ever offered. In this modern age of digital communication, I urge you to take advantage of the opportunity to
personally interact with our presenters, who are some of the best emergency medicine researchers and educators in the world.
Engage with them, question them, debate them and give them feedback regarding the impact of their work on your career
development. Our membership surveys show that networking and collaboration opportunities with other members are the
most highly valued services SAEM offers. Our Annual Meeting is the perfect venue for making new friends, for renewing old
acquaintances, and for learning and teaching while enjoying everything beautiful San Diego has to offer.
Thank you for coming to the 2015 SAEM Annual Meeting in San Diego.
Bob Hockberger, MD
President, SAEM
As emergency medicine continues to grow, so does our Society and its Annual Meeting. We’ve planned an even bigger and
better meeting than ever before this year, one which will highlight the top research and educational advances our members
have discovered over the past year.
More and more content has been packed into this meeting, including the Pre-Meeting Workshops on Tuesday, May 12, and
I know many attendees who have arrived a day early just to attend. These workshops have been chosen specifically for their
diverse content, designed to pique the interest of all attendees. We also have a fantastic AEM Consensus Conference focusing on
Diagnostic Imaging, which is a great example of multidisciplinary collaboration aimed at defining a research agenda on this topic.
On Wednesday, May 13, we are honored to host Steven Stack, MD, president-elect of the American Medical Association
and the first emergency physician to hold this role. Immediately following Dr. Stack, we will have our plenary abstract
presentations, a showcase of six of the best research abstracts submitted from the strongest field ever.
The abstract evaluation process was revamped this year and, for the first time ever, we published the scoring criteria. We
are especially indebted to the SAEM members who reviewed the 984 abstracts submitted. Thank you! In addition to the oral
presentations, we are using ePosters this year, which has allowed us to present more posters than ever before.
SAEM GENERAL INFORMATION
SAEM OFFERS TOP PROGRAMMING AGAIN AND AGAIN
Thanks to the recommendations of our members, the formats of the didactic presentations have been modified as well. All
135 didactics are shorter and more focused, and the very successful Ignite! session has been expanded to two days. Lion’s Den
(formerly Shark Tank) is back and will feature a series of junior researchers vying for mentorship from some of our specialty’s
most prominent researchers. A series of “Crossfire” sessions will allow some of the finest EM experts to debate controversial
topics in an entertaining and educational format. In addition, we have paired a number of junior didactic presenters with
mentors at their request, allowing for even more of the professional mentorship for which our Society is well known.
Finally attendees will have the opportunity to attend audience-specific educational sessions, including the Educational
Leadership Forum, Junior Faculty Development Forum, Resident Academic Leadership Forum, and Medical Student
Symposium. We’re also anticipating the largest Residency and Fellowship Fair in SAEM history, which will allow programs
and applicants a great chance to meet and greet.
SonoGames® and SIM Wars – both extremely popular and energetic sessions - are back. The meeting also has plenty of time
built in for our academies, committees, and interest groups to reconnect and forge ahead. In addition, the Opening Reception,
the Foundation FUND Run, Dodgeball, Networking Breakfast, and Closing Reception will allow for plenty of fun breaks
throughout the week.
Last year the SAEM Annual Meeting topped the list of Twitter’s trending hashtags. With your help, we can do the same again
with #SAEM15! Medical Student Ambassadors will be tweeting and helping attendees find their way around the conference –
please ask one if you need anything at all. The mobile app also will be available with updated information on the meeting.
The Annual Meeting couldn’t happen without countless hours of work by SAEM staff, the CEO and Board of Directors, the
Program Committee, and all of theacademies, so I’d like to say “Thank you!”
Have a fantastic time here in San Diego!

Chair, 2015 SAEM Program Committee

IMPROVING THE ACUTE CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE
TUESDAY, MAY 12 - 8:00 am – 12:00 pm — NAUTILUS ROOM 2, MARINA TOWER LOWER LEVEL
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the underlying cause for more than 200,000 visits to the ED per year. In 2010, SCD was the No. 1
cause of hospital readmission within 30 days, usually due to acute vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC). Studies have shown that many
patients who develop complications related to SCD do so during an acute VOC, and patients who are readmitted within a week of
discharge have a higher rate of mortality. We propose that both a lack of SCD education and use of evidence-based guidelines to
treat VOC contributes to the high rate of readmissions. This session educates ED providers on the significant morbidity associated
with this disease; current evidence-based guidelines for management of VOC; and other complications. Lastly, findings from our
study will focus on implementing changes in other sites to improve care for sickle-cell patients across the country.

This half-day facilitated group discussion is designed to provide participants with insight into the use of electronic health records
systems for innovation in patient care. Topics will include ways that academicians have used EHR to promote evidence-based
medicine; improve patient safety; improve quality of care; and implement research protocols. We will also discuss challenges
associated with EHR use. A special focus will be placed on the multitude of quantitative ways in which EHR data can be used to
evaluate the success or failure of various implementations, and on the limitations of this approach.

PEARLS & PITFALLS IN RESEARCHING BEHAVIOR IN THE ACUTE SETTING
TUESDAY, MAY 12 - 8:00 am – 12:00 pm
HARBOR ISLAND BALLROOM 3, MARINA TOWER LOBBY LEVEL
As the causes of many diseases are better understood, emergency physicians are increasingly recognizing the importance of the
behaviors that led to an unplanned medical encounter. Recognizing such patients may provide an opportunity to initiate interventions
to reduce future events and injury, but there are challenges to conducting this research in the acute-care setting. Recent studies of
research in behavioral emergencies and funding for these studies demonstrated that most literature on psychiatric emergencies
still is published in psychiatry journals. In addition, there continues to be a wide gap in practice between more psychiatry-based
recommendations and actual practice in the ED. Given this practice gap, it is important to understand opportunities and barriers
in performing research on psychiatric patients, achieve a definition of acceptable data that would change practice, and create an
agenda for this research in the adult and pediatric patient population in the ED. In collaboration with the National Institutes of
Health, this workshop will provide information about the current status of such research, consensus about identifying emergency
treatment options, and provide a forum for discussion of how to strengthen research on behavioral emergencies.

ADVANCED EVIDENCE-­BASED DIAGNOSIS
(ROCCURVES, INTERVAL LIKELIHOOD RATIOS, AND BIAS INTEST ACCURACY STUDIES)
TUESDAY, MAY 12 - 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
HARBOR ISLAND BALLROOM 1, MARINA TOWER LOBBY LEVEL
This full-day, hands-on workshop is based on real examples from the medical literature of studies of diagnostic tests, and will
show how the data can be (but often are not) presented to maximize the information to be gained from the test. The workshop
consists of brief didactic presentations followed by small groups solving and discussing illustrative problems based on studies of
diagnostic tests. Among other tests, the problems will discuss: a rapid antigen detection test for influenza; BNP for congestive
heart failure; ultra-­sensitive Troponin I for acute coronary syndrome; B—hCG for ectopic pregnancy; and the JAMA “Rational
Clinical Examination” papers on diagnosing appendicitis and UTI in children. At the end of the session, we will hand out the
answers to the problems.

NIH SESSIONS AT SAEM
WEDNESDAY, MAY 13 AND THURSDAY, MAY 14
SOCIETY FOR ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE – 2015 ANNUAL MEETING
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is presenting four vital sessions on emergency medicine and the NIH that you do not
want to miss! Join us as we begin with an introduction and overview of the NIH training programs and resources. Later, we will
discuss career development opportunities such as the K-series, and explore how the T-32s might benefit research fellowships in
emergency medicine. Finally, we will close with a session by Jeremy Brown, MD, director of the new Office of Emergency Care
Research (OECR) who will discuss how the OECR interacts with other NIH institutes to develop research support and training
opportunities for those wishing to pursue careers in emergency care research. This is a must-see for all who are pursuing
careers in emergency medicine research!

Bel Aire Ballroom South – Bay Tower Lobby Level
The purpose of this session is to provide an overview of the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) and its constituent Institutes
and Centers. NIH plays a critical, worldwide role in stimulating and
funding basic, translational, clinical, and population research. NIH
budget and funding cycles will be discussed, and new trans NIH

DS-17: NIH Career Development Awards to
R01 Funding, and Beyond: Creating and
Maintaining NIH Research Funding
Obtaining NIH research funding is difficult and without
successfully transitioning to NIH R01 funding after research
training, many individuals decide not to pursue research as part
of their career. There are many elements that contribute to success
including proper planning, institutional support, protected time,
ongoing research mentorship and perseverance. The goal of this
session is to identify common problems that hinder research career
development, and to discuss strategies for success. All panelists
have had R01 funding, and two panelists have been continuously
funded by NIH for the past 15 years.

Research is traditionally designed using endpoints that researchers
deem to be important. It is often unclear whether these endpoints
are also the most important to patients. PCORI has changed this
landscape and now requires researchers to engage patients in study
design and as co-investigators. This has changed the landscape for
EM researchers. This session offers insight into how to include
patients in study design and how this has impacted the view of the
NIH on patient-centered research.

DS-73: The NHLBI Research Training K12 Program in
Emergency Medicine: Program Directors and Scholars Speak!
In 2009, a series of NIH roundtables recommended more
clinical research training opportunities in emergency medicine.
Subsequently, the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute,
created an Institutional Training Program to train clinicians in
emergency care research. The program goal is to create a cadre
of independent scientists capable of conducting research in the
emergency care domain. The NHLBI K12 Program in Emergency
Medicine is a $21M program, established in July 2011, and
currently supports six translational and clinical research centers in
emergency care research. Entering its fourth year, the program will
train 36 scholars how to conduct research. A panel will discuss its
experiences and lessons learned in the program.

INTRODUCTION TO RESEARCH SERIES
THURSDAY, MAY 14 - 9:00 am - 5:00 pm — FAIRBANKS BALLROOM A - BAY TOWER LOBBY LEVEL
Initiating clinical research in EM can be a daunting task especially for residents, junior faculty, fellows and other early career
investigators. To address many of the challenges that arise, the SAEM Research Committee has created an “Introduction to
Research” curriculum to take place on a rotating basis over the next three SAEM Annual Meetings. The curriculum is designed to
provide yearly didactics in four discrete areas:
SOCIETY FOR ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE – 2015 ANNUAL MEETING
1. Getting Started will teach you how to foster collaborations, obtain mentors, deal with the IRB and find grant funding to
leverage your research idea into a successful product.
22
2. Methods will introduce you to research methods that are highly relevant to early career researchers, including: retrospective
chart reviews, studies utilizing electronic databases, and mixed methods such as surveys and qualitative research.
3. Analysis will introduce you to the basics of biostatistics and epidemiology. This series will cover foundation concepts such as
p-values and precision, but also will introduce methods to both recognize and deal with potential bias and confounding.
4. Dissemination of Information will familiarize you with basic concepts related to abstract and manuscript writing,
publication, the perspective of peer reviewers, and writing for the lay public.

MAXIMIZING YOUR EXPERIENCE AT THE SAEM 2015 ANNUAL CONFERENCE
|
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA
Save some of your energy, so you don’t miss the activities
planned for Thursday evening. Show up early to the Residency
and Student Advisory Committee Reception poolside at the LaNai
Lawn. The first 200 people will receive a free drink ticket (5:00 pm6:30 pm). Take a short nap before heading out to the annual EMRA
Party from 10:00 pm–2:00 am, usually the highlight social event of
the conference.
If you want the most bang for your buck at this year’s Annual
Meeting, spend Friday, May 15 attending the Medical Student
Symposium or the Resident Leadership Forum, which splits to the
Chief Resident Forum/Academic Development Track and Junior
Resident/Rising Intern Track. Make sure to sign up in advance as
these have sold out in the past, and for good reason! The Medical
Student Symposium is your all access pass to emergency medicine
program directors from across the country. Pick their brain on
how to ace your EM rotations and match at the program of your
dreams. If you are not that far in the process and deciding whether
emergency medicine is the fit for you, we have you covered. The
Resident Leadership Forum is a must for any resident interested
in academic emergency medicine. The lessons I learned from
the Resident Leadership Forum and Chief Resident Forum were
invaluable during my year as chief resident and are still useful as
a junior faculty member. Both of these forums are well worth the
extra participation fee.
If you don’t have the extra cash to enjoy one of the forums, you
can still spend your Friday gleaning some advice from the leaders
of emergency medicine at “Legendary Leadership – Lessons from
Four of the Founders of Emergency Medicine” (11:30 pm). You’ll
also have plenty of opportunities to meet program directors and
other emergency medicine faculty at the Residency and Fellowship
Fair, where institutions from across the country showcase their
programs (3:00 pm-5:00 pm).
On Friday, finish the Annual Meeting at the Closing Reception
(5:00 pm-6:30 pm) where you can enjoy refreshments at Shoreline
Bar/Pool Side while bidding farewell to all the new friends you’ve
met at this year’s meeting.
At the 26th SAEM Annual Meeting, don’t forget about all of
the research abstracts, ePoster presentations, innovations, visual
diagnosis cases and committee and interest group meetings that
can easily fill any gaps that may come up in your schedule. No
matter what you decide, the week is sure to promise plenty of
opportunities for learning, collaboration, meeting new friends,
catching up with old colleagues, and experiencing America’s finest
city, San Diego. We look forward to seeing you there.
MAY 12-15, 2015
The 2015 SAEM Annual Conference includes hundreds of didactic
sessions, research presentations, innovations, social events and
more. While there is no way to participate in it all, the Resident and
Student Advisory Committee is here to tell you how to maximize
your experience as a medical student/resident this year.
Start your first official day on Wednesday, May 13. Meet new
friends and eat pancakes and waffles at the networking breakfast
at 8:00 am. Immediately following is the keynote address given
by Dr. Steven Stack, the first board certified emergency physician
to serve on the American Medical Association Board of Trustees
and AMA President-Elect. Before lunch, check out the six best
emergency medicine research abstracts submitted to SAEM at the
Plenary Abstract Presentations.
On Wednesday afternoon, learn how social media can be used for
something more than playing Candy Crush Saga at “FOAM On The
Spot: Integration of Online Resources Into Real-Time Education
and Patient Care” (1:30 pm). If you want to learn about where
your career can take you after residency, check out “What Will Be
the EM Fellowships of the Future?” (2:30 pm). On the occasion
that you’re getting tired and don’t have the attention span to sit
through a full lecture, try out the IGNITE! sessions–five (5) minute
presentations with 20 slides, each automatically advances every 15
seconds (1:30 pm-3:30 pm on both Wednesday and Thursday).
One great aspect of emergency medicine is the people who
are attracted to our specialty. They are individuals who work and
play hard. Spend the rest of your first day celebrating with these
individuals at SAEM’s social events. Kick off the conference with
SAEM signature cocktails and yard games while overlooking the
bay at the Opening Reception (4:00 pm, Bay View Lawn). Or, enjoy
the superb wines of California while rubbing elbows with some
of the most established researchers in emergency medicine at
the SAEMF Networking California Wine Tasting Event (6:30 pm;
additional registration fee).
Thursday, May 14 is packed with many different educational
opportunities. If you are initiating a research project but find it a
particularly daunting task, don’t miss the four lectures in SAEM’s
multi-year research curriculum: “Finding the Best Tour Guide to
Your Research Success: Mentoring in Emergency Medicine” (9:00
am), “Research Using Chart Reviews and Quality Improvement
Projects” (1:30 pm), “Introduction to Statistics” (2:30 pm), and
“Writing the Abstract and Manuscript that will be Accepted” (4:00
pm). If you want to explore a way to spice up your presentations,
check out “Not Another Boring Lecture: Interactive Methods to
Engage Your Learners” (2:30 pm). Or, if you are in the mood to
watch some friendly competition, while learning a thing or two,
cheer on your favorite team at the SIM Wars competition in the
morning (8:00 am–12:00 pm) or the SonoGamesTM competition in
the afternoon (1:00 pm-5:00 pm).

WEDNESDAY, MAY 13 – 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM
DS-04: Developing the Evidence Base for Medicine in
2020: Focus on Virtual Care
Harbor Island Ballroom 1 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Enable academic emergency physicians to better understand the changing
landscape of patient centered care. 2. Demonstrate how research and education
can be incorporated into healthcare innovation. 3. Empower emergency
physicians to develop an evidence base to inform the changes in healthcare.
Description: No one can predict how healthcare will evolve. If the projected
shift from a fee-for-service model to value-based purchasing will change the
care delivery system remains unclear. The presenters will provide vision for how
the care delivery model is changing and how academic emergency physicians
are uniquely positioned to develop the evidence base to inform these changes.
Attendees will learn: the potential for mobile health to transform our ability
to influence patients’ care after the visit; about a “high-intensity” telemedicine
program for vulnerable older adults; a cloud based health and wellness
engagement platform used by millions of consumers; and the opportunities
that exist through federal agencies, payers and private industry partnerships as
well as through the National Academic Center for Telehealth.

DS-06: Promotions at a Crossroads: Do We Need to
Change to Recognize Generational Differences?
Harbor Island Ballroom 3 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Identify the impact of generational differences on the traditional promotions
process, the obstacles faced when dealing with a traditionally rigid process, 2.
Summarize potential solutions to the identified obstacles.
Description: For the generations at work: Can the traditional faculty
promotions process still work? This session examines generational differences
and the academic promotions process. The promotions process is typically
rigid and seemingly was designed for traditionalists and boomers. It does
not seem to be in-line with Gen X and Gen Y. Attendees will learn: Where the
traditional P&T process/track conflict with millennial values/preferences; and
the best approach to developing and promoting Gen X and Y?3. Can the rules

DS-08: FOAM on the Spot: Integration of Online
Resources into Real-Time Education and Patient Care
Fairbanks Ballroom A – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Identify knowledge translation resources suitable for application in realtime patient care. 2. Identify common cases and scenarios in the emergency
department where online resources add value. 3. Develop teaching strategies
for integration of online tools as educational adjuncts to patient care. 4. Review
the tools, methods, and venues needed for development of new innovative
knowledge translation resources.
Description: This education session addresses a new frontier—Free OpenAccess Medical Education—and the resources available for real-time integration
into patient care and trainee education. The panelists, experts in integration of
knowledge translation into practice, will provide practical, case-based examples
of common ED scenarios into which online resources contribute value to safe,
efficient healthcare delivery. This includes review of clinical decision-support,
video-based tutorials, and shared decision-making tools. The panel also will
discuss: how online tools should be assessed for quality and reliability, How to
use these tools to facilitate learner progression toward independent practice,
and a brief overview of content creation for interested educators. This session
specifically addresses ACGME milestones SBP3, integration of technology into
safe healthcare delivery, and PBLI, practice-based performance improvement.

DIDACTIC PRESENTATIONS - WEDNESDAY, MAY 13
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. List ECG features that are highly specific for STEMI, rather than acute
pericarditis, 2. List common pitfalls in the ECG diagnosis of acute pericarditis,
3. Identify and distinguish between acute pericarditis and STEMI on ECG.
Description: Acute pericarditis (AP) is a common mimic of ST-elevation
myocardial infarction (STEMI). True STEMI is often misdiagnosed as AP and
vice versa, resulting in adverse patient outcomes and even litigation. Common
teaching about the distinction between AP and STEMI is largely based on myth,
often resulting in misdiagnoses. The presenter will discuss a stepwise approach
to distinguish between AP and STEMI on the ECG and suggest research ideas
for audience members who want to contribute to the literature on this topic.

DS-10: The Rise of Sports Medicine: Fellowship
Training, Career Opportunities, and More
Fairbanks Ballroom B – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Indicate the fundamental practice of primary care sports medicine and routes
of entry into the subspecialty, 2. Define the role and unique qualifications of the
emergency physician in sports medicine, 3. Recognize the spectrum of career
paths available to the fellowship-trained emergency physician, 4. Identify areas
of involvement for the interested resident or emergency physician without
formal training.
Description: Primary care sports medicine has seen growth as an EM
subspecialty. With the proper training, experience, or special interest,
emergency physicians have a variety of opportunities in sports medicine. This
session will describe the role of the emergency physician in sports medicine, the
current state of fellowship training, and career paths and other opportunities
for residents and practicing emergency physicians with or without fellowship
training. Each speaker practices academic emergency medicine, clinical sports
medicine, and team medicine in settings encompassing high school, college,
and professional sports.

DS-14: Bench to Bedside to 60 Minutes: The importance
of considering biological sex in basic science research
and clinical emergency medicine
DIDACTIC PRESENTATIONS - WEDNESDAY, MAY 13
Bel Aire Ballroom North – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Recognize important opportunities and discoveries which have been missed
or delayed due to historical practices that did not consider biological sex in
research outcomes, 2. Identify the new 2014 NIH guidelines that mandate
that funded basic science research include both male and female lab animals, 3.
Address strategies to close the sex and gender gap in emergency care research.
Description: When was the last time you saw a basic scientist on prime time
TV? Dr. Larry Cahill, professor, neurobiology and behavior, the University
of California Irvine, was recently featured “60 Minutes”. He discussed the
remarkable potential for flawed and misleading research if biological sex is not
factored into a study’s analysis. He asserts this holds true whether you are a basic
scientist researching stem cells, a clinical researcher studying pathophysiology,
or a practicing physician writing a script at the bedside. Dr. Cahill was not
convinced that important sex-based differences in neuroscience existed; but he
became a believer when his lab discovered that men and women process and
store emotional memories differently. Additionally he found there are concrete
sex-based differences in the amygdala. Since then he has been a strong vocal
proponent of the need for both basic and clinical scientists to examine the
effect of biological sex on their study outcomes. This session will explore the
common thread that connects basic science to clinical observations that affect
emergency care for neurological conditions, PTSD and mental health.

DS-16: The National Institutes of Health: What Is the
NIH Role in Scientific Development and Why Should
Emergency Medicine Care?
Bel Aire Ballroom South – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of the session, participants should be able to:
1. Describe NIH’s role in stimulating and funding a broad range of scientific
research efforts, 2. Recognize the distinction between NIH Institute’s
Intramural and Extramural Programs, 3. Describe the NIH budget cycle and
current budget requirements.
Description: The purpose of this session is to provide an overview of
the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and its constituent Institutes and
Centers. NIH plays a critical, worldwide role in stimulating and funding basic,
translational, clinical, and population research. NIH budget and funding cycles
will be discussed, and new trans NIH initiatives created to help meet the
workforce requirements for science in the next decade.

DS-18: Emergency Informatics Research: Interesting,
Approachable Projects for Residents or the Career
Scientist
Point Loma Ballroom A – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Describe the current status of emergency informatics research, 2. Describe
the design of several informatics research projects that could be performed by
non-technical researchers.
Description: Clinical Informatics is a new subspecialty available to EM
diplomates and an area of medicine seeing rapid change. Physicians are seeing
government mandates for electronic health records in most of the developed
world. Patients expect their records to be complete and accessible. Physicians
expect the systems to be usable and for decision support to be helpful and
timely. The transformation of health information to EHR is outpacing the
research in the field. So, while well designed research is being performed in
clinical informatics, many topics remain that are ripe for evaluation. The
session will cover several key areas of informatics research that directly relate
36
to emergency medicine: workflow analysis, EHR usability, alerting/clinical
decision support, and pre-hospital informatics.

DS-20: Electronic Medical Records in the Academic
Emergency Department: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Point Loma Ballroom B – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. List the opportunities and challenges of implementing and optimizing
EMRs for clinical operations and culture in the academic ED, 2. Assess the
impact of EMRs on education and teaching for medical students, residents, and
other learners in the ED setting, 3. Design and implement a robust ED clinical
research program leveraging the strengths and minimizing the potential
pitfalls of EMRs.
Description: EMRs in healthcare have grown dramatically in the last 10 years
with the information technology revolution, as well as Federal “Meaningful
use” incentive programs for medical providers. The impact of EMRs on delivery
of care and medical education and clinical research are becoming clear. In
this session, an expert panel will review and discuss the opportunities (“the
good”), challenges (“the bad”), and still unaddressed needs and unintended
consequences (“the ugly”) of EMRs on the clinical care, education, and research
missions of academic EDs. Presenters will discuss their successes, failures
and compromises with regards to EMR implementation, optimization, and
change management; impacts on resident and student education (including
EMR documentation challenges and patient privacy concerns); and the role of
electronic patient data in catalyzing ED clinical research programs. The session
will be interactive and address the needs of residents, junior and senior faculty
about to implement or transition to an EMR system, as well as those wishing to
optimize and leverage their current EMR to improve clinical workflows and care
quality, foster education and bedside teaching in the ED, and enhance clinical
research programs.

DS-22: Emergency Care of the Muslim Patient:
An Educational Opportunity to Develop Cultural
Competency and Diversity Awareness
Coronado B – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. Recognize the professionalism standards set forth in the EM model for
emergency medicine education, 2. Demonstrate effective teaching methods for
training in cultural competency and diversity awareness, 3. Apply principles of
professionalism and ethics pertinent to patient management, 4. Highlight the
importance of this education using the Muslim patient as the central example.
Description: EM training and continuing ME includes professionalism.
Professional tenants such as cultural competency and diversity awareness are
part of the EM Model, however, examples and information on how to educate
on these topics is scarce. Educators have the responsibility to train future and
present EM physicians to recognize that age, gender, ethnicity, barriers to
communication, socioeconomic status, underlying disease, and other factors
that may affect patient management. Research suggests that providing highquality and culturally sensitive care requires understanding of the specific
ways in which religion and culture interact with health behaviors. Using the
unique characteristics of Muslim patients, in this didactic, we will discuss three
common challenges encountered during the emergency care of Muslim patients:
cross-gender interactions and issues of modesty, end-of-life considerations,
and the care of patients who are performing the Ramadan fast. The knowledge
gap surrounding this group is often the cause of physician behaviors, which
are perceived as disrespectful and uncaring. It impacts negatively on patients’
confidence in their physicians and the willingness to adhere to medications,
treatment plans, and willingness to provide accurate histories.

DS-03: Crossfire: Airway
Grande Ballroom C – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: Describe the current controversies and evidence behind: 1. Pre-hospital
intubation, 2. Delayed sequence intubation, 3. Use of per-intubation pressor
agents, 4. Apneic oxygenation, 5.The use of video versus direct laryngoscopy, 6.
Application of cricoid pressure and the role of optimal laryngeal manipulation,
7. The optimal technique for rescue cricothyrotomy.
Description: Effective airway management is often paramount for the
successful resuscitation of critically ill or injured patients. Despite being a core
skill for emergency providers, there are many aspects of airway management
that spark controversy and ongoing debate. This interactive, case-based panel
discussion will explore several controversies in modern emergency airway
management including prehospital and delayed sequence intubation, the use
of peri-intubation pressors and the role of novel video-assisted devices. Don’t
miss this fun, rapid-fire, evidence-based exploration of emergency airway
management.
DS-07: Your Opportunity for Development: How
to Create The Philanthropic Means Vital to Your
Institution’s Academic Mission
Harbor Island Ballroom 3 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1, Describe the critical ways in which fund-raising can further their academic
missions, 2, Create a unique narrative that will guide their fund-raising
activities, 3. Describe how to envision, design, initiate, and follow through
on a successful development campaign by identifying potential donors,
collaborations, and resources.
Description: The mission of an academic EM depends on viable funding
mechanisms. As government and private payers come under increasing fiscal
strain and central academic budgets are stagnant, academic EDs will require
new, outside funding sources to remain productive. The tools needed for
philanthropic support increasingly are being recognized as critical for shortterm tactical needs as well as longer-term strategic success. Development is a
talent that is critical to our individual and group success. This session provides
an introduction to development, how it is important, and that is can contribute
to our program’s success. Participants will learn how to create the narrative
story that will underpin their philanthropic campaign. They will learn the skills
needed to how to envision, design, initiate and follow through on a successful
development campaign by identifying potential donors, collaborations, and
resources.

DIDACTIC PRESENTATIONS - WEDNESDAY, MAY 13
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Identify important and robust findings in the recent health policy literature
that address emergency care, 2. Apply different research designs to address
health policy questions.
Description: Emergency care plays a central role in healthcare delivery and is
increasingly influenced by healthcare policies at multiple levels including state
and federal regulations, public and private reimbursement policies, licensing
and certification requirements and tort law. Since the passage of the Affordable
Care Act the number and impact of such policies has increased and the volume
of research – both high and lower quality – has ballooned. This course will review
the top 10 articles addressing emergency care health policy research over the
last year from a wide survey of emergency care journals and journals in other
specialties. The presenters will review the importance of the research question,
highlight design strengths and weaknesses and appropriate conclusion and will
outline implications for future research.

Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Identify the fundamentals of PCOR scientific research, 2. List different ways
that PCOR can be conducted and applied to emergency care research.
Description: The Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), a
public research entity, delivers $500 million in research grants per year. Patient
centered outcomes research has unique relevance for emergency care and
emergency care research. This panel discussion will build on the introductory
2014 SAEM Panel, “PCORI Made Simple.” The panel specifically will focus
on the science of PCORI and the connections between emergency care and
patient-centered outcomes research. The panel will feature a senior scientific
officer from the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute, two emergency
medicine PCORI funded investigators, and the Director of the Emergency
Care Coordination Center (ECCC) in the US Department of Health & Human
Services. The topics covered will include: “The Science of PCORI,” “Patient
Centered Emergency Care Systems,” “Partnering with a Non-Profit to Conduct
Patient Centered Outcomes Research,” “Using Patient Narratives in PCOR,” and
“Shared Decision Making in PCOR.”

DS-09: Restructuring the ED-ICU Interface to Improve
Critical Care Management
Fairbanks Ballroom A – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Identify system factors affecting provision of ongoing care to critically ill
patients in an Emergency Department setting, 2. Assess different strategies
37
DIDACTIC PRESENTATIONS - WEDNESDAY, MAY 13
to address communication, staffing, and resource-related challenges at the EDICU interface.
Description: Current demand for ICU beds outstrips the supply of existing
inpatient beds, leading to increased ED lengths of stay for critically ill patients
and complicated ED throughput and resource management. Care models for
ongoing management of these critically ill patients have been developed, but
an optimal approach has not been identified. A panel of practicing EM doctors,
ED intensivists, and critical care medicine providers will discuss challenges to
providing optimal critical care in the ED and analyze practical solutions within
the constraints of a busy ED and hospital system. Staffing model options
including using ED intensivists, dedicated hospitalist teams, or satellite
ICU coverage of boarding patients, and propose strategies for improving
interdisciplinary communication and collaboration at the ED-ICU interface will
be discussed.

1. List examples of future career paths for emergency physicians that reflect
the changing healthcare environment, 2. Envision the key components of
fellowship programs that equip trainees with the necessary skills and flexibility
to succeed in emergency medicine as it will be practiced ten and twenty years
from now, 3. Discuss the varied ways physicians with a mindset and personality
suitable for emergency medicine may best impact the larger healthcare system
as care evolves.
Description: Four panelists will representing varied career tracks within
academic medicine, intended to demonstrate breadth and inspire the audience
to “think outside the box.” Medicine and its delivery are changing so rapidly
that it is increasingly difficult to anticipate how best to train our residents and
fellows to flourish professionally even in the near future, much less than in
decades to come. Different skill sets must be developed from those who have
been taught in the past—emphasizing flexibility, business and economic
savvy, people skills, administrative talent, and comfort with rapidly evolving
information technology. Such abilities will be integral to developing and
imagining new areas of specialization that are well-suited to the “emergency
medicine mindset,” such as telehealth, improving systems of healthcare,
improving the economics and efficiency of healthcare, care coordination, and
bringing subspecialty-level care into the outpatient environment.

DS-12: Spanning the Gap Between Careers in Academic
and Community Medicine: Can this be a two way street?
Fairbanks Ballroom C – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Provide residents and students with examples of career paths in both academic
and community emergency medicine, 2. Contrast the pros and cons of academic
versus community emergency medicine. 3. Provide advice to those interested
in returning to academic emergency medicine after working in the community
Description: This session provides advice on how to become involved in
academic EM, especially if you initially practice in the community. Most
residents graduate and begin practice in community emergency medicine, but
many remain interested in being involved in academic emergency medicine
or returning to academic emergency medicine in the future. This didactic
will explore the pathways to combine academics and community practice and
how to lay the groundwork to have a hybrid career. There will be four panel
members who have followed different paths to succeed in both community
38
and academics. They will provide invaluable insight on what led them down
their different career paths, and how to avoid common potholes on this trek
spanning the gap between our practices.

DS-13: The Future of GME Funding: Where Are We and
What Can We Do?
Fairbanks Ballroom D – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Describe the current state of GME funding at the federal and state level,
2. Identify the complexity of the GME funding issues, 3. List specific GME
funding advocacy efforts, 4. Participate in the important conversations needed
to enhance GME funding.
Description: The Joint GME Funding Work Group is a collaborative effort
between AACEM, ACEP, ACOEP, CORD, EMRA and SAEM whose purpose is
to monitor the GME environment on both the national and state level and to
advocate for GME issues to legislative representatives and staff. In this session,
members of this workgroup will describe the current state of affairs, the issues
that affect EM, current activities, a needs assessment, and the next steps to
enhance GME funding.

DS-15: Overcrowding in European Emergency
Departments: Challenges and Solutions
Bel Aire Ballroom North – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Summarize the overcrowding problem in Europe, 2. Recognize the main
issues and new perspectives related to the overcrowding problem, 3. Interpret
European solutions that can be applied to U.S. EDs.
Description: For the last two decades, ED visits have increased dramatically,
inducing long length of stay and crowding in many European countries such
as Italy, Greece, Germany, UK, and France. Overcrowding creates a poor
environment for patients and poor job satisfaction among ED staff and other
care quality indicators. The main reason for overcrowding is not inappropriate
ED use by patients, but rather a shortage of available hospital beds that result
in ED boarding for patients who need admission, particularly the elderly. New
hospital-integrated general practice for emergency care services, geriatric
mobile units for the elderly, or new hospital beds management strategies
became alternatives to traditional admissions in Europe.

DS-17: NIH Career Development Awards to R01
Funding, and Beyond: Creating and Maintaining NIH
Research Funding
Bel Aire Ballroom South – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Define common obstacles in launching an independent research career, 2.
Identify common strategies from other disciplines for helping junior faculty
to grow their research career, 3. Explain how this gap hinders the growth of
independent EM investigators.
Description: Obtaining NIH research funding is difficult and without
successfully transitioning to NIH R01 funding after research training, many
individuals decide not to pursue research as part of their career. There are many
elements that contribute to success including proper planning, institutional
support, protected time, ongoing research mentorship and perseverance. The
goal of this session is to identify common problems that hinder research career
development, and to discuss strategies for success. All panelists have had R01
funding, and two panelists have been continuously funded by NIH for the past
15 years.

important applications of informatics in patient safety, process improvement,
knowledge translation, and scientific discovery, 3. Develop a plan for
integrating informatics education into resident and faculty development, 4.
Describe requirements for, and pathways from Emergency Medicine to, boardcertification in the new Clinical Informatics subspecialty.
Description: This education session provides a window into a rapidly exploding
field of medicine, Clinical Informatics, with its newly-minted subspecialty
certification. The panelists, EM faculty with formal training in Clinical
Informatics, will review methods for integrating core informatics content
into residency and faculty development curricula. The panelists will describe
educational and scholarly opportunities, the landscape of fellowship training
in Clinical Informatics, and other opportunities for faculty development,
such as the AMIA/ACEP 10x10 continuing education. This session specifically
addresses ACGME milestones SBP3, integration of technology into safe
healthcare delivery, and SBP2, systems-based management.

DS-21: Intellectual Property 101: Ideas, Inventions,
Disclosures, Patents and Licenses
Point Loma Ballroom B – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session participants should be able to: 1.
Describe what constitutes intellectual property, 2. Describe the general process
used by institutions to evaluate IP generated internally, 3. Discuss how to get
more information as to how IP is managed at their institution, 4. Identify the
concepts of IP, invention, public disclosure, provisional patents, ownership of
IP, and licensing of IP.
Description: Creation of intellectual property, particularly patent-able
inventions, is increasingly common among academic emergency physicians.
This session aims to teach participants the basics of management of intellectual
property (IP) while working for an academic institution.

Coronado B – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. Identify the “gap” areas where medical student and resident EM clinical
education are critically lacking in sex and gender topics, 2. Describe current
challenges in the implementation of sex and gender into EM curricula, 3. Give
examples of concrete, readily accessible tools and resources to approach the
implementation of sex and gender into existing emergency medicine curricula.
Description: The 2014 AEM Consensus Conference on gender-specific
research in EM laid the foundation for improving patient care through the
inclusion of sex and gender in acute-care research. In order to translate the
knowledge gained by performing this type of research and use it at the bedside,
content on sex- and gender- specific emergency care needs to be incorporated
into the current education model for EM residents. Despite the fact that
formal training is lacking in EM residencies, many programs have the resources
to provide high-quality training and meet the identified educational need.
However, it is important to appreciate the many barriers to encompassing
additional education requirements and requires concerted efforts at individual,
institutional, and national levels. This session aims to demonstrate strategies
that incorporate sex and gender-specific emergency care educational content
into traditional educational models through integration in areas such as
curriculum development, grand rounds and didactics, simulation, journal club,
elective experiences, bedside clinical teaching and address the barriers likely to
be encountered. These are the first steps in establishing new multidisciplinary
training programs in sex- and gender-specific medicine based in a department
of EM.

DS-25 Crossfire: Redesigning Stroke Care
Marina 4 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Identify the designs and outcomes of the four recent combination (IV + IR) trials
for acute ischemic stroke 2. Describe the issues now faced by EM and EMS in
light of this new evidence 3. Discuss the potential options for implementation
of this new treatment practice within the Stroke Systems of Care
Description: Recently, the results of four prospective randomized trials
(MR-CLEAN, SWIFT-PRIME, EXTEND-IA, and ESCAPE) for the combined
intravenous and interventional treatment of AIS have been presented at
international conferences and/or in major publications. While the inclusion/
exclusion criteria vary slightly among these trials, they all demonstrated
significantly improved outcomes. A NNT of 4 for good outcome (modified
Rankin scale score ≤ 2) at 90 days was shown in these trials. Should this
lead to a change in EMS and ED treatment protocols for AIS? What are the
patient, hospital, and systems issues at stake in this practice change? What is
the best course of implementation? The two debaters will discuss whether the
best course of action is to triage all eligible patients directly to Comprehensive
Stroke Centers or if it would be better to transport patients to the nearestclosest hospital.

Harbor Island Ballroom 1 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Describe different approaches used to recruit faculty and medical school
leadership support for ultrasound education, 2. Identify obstacles that can be
faced when starting a program and different approaches to surpassing them,
3. Analyze the approach to writing a proposal for medical school leadership to
implement ultrasound education, 4. Target areas needed for further research
to help others with dean support and curricular advancement.
Description: Ultrasound educators believe that learning ultrasound in
formative years of training enhances students’ understanding of basic
science by bringing together live views of anatomy, physiology and pathology.
Paired with physical exam training, ultrasound augments exam skills by
visually reinforcing structures palpated, percussed, or auscultated, while
fostering fine spatial motor skills needed for image acquisition. As such,
there is a push for incorporation of bedside ultrasound into vertical medical
school curricula as an innovative tool to integrate basic, physical and clinical
science. Since 2005, only a handful of schools have successfully developed
fully vertical programs. This panel will provide examples of how EM faculty
are navigating the steps toward ultrasound implementation, from those
who are just starting the process, to those with trial programs and fully
established curricula. The discussion will focus on hurdles faced in a topdown approach and ideas to help overcome them.

DS-69: The Hidden Curriculum of Pain Management
Point Loma Ballroom A – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Define and discuss the concept of the hidden curriculum in medical education,
2. Distinguish between the formal and hidden curriculum of pain management,
3. Discuss techniques to make the hidden curriculum of pain management
more evidence-based and efficacious.
Description: The hidden curriculum is a relatively new concept in medical
education. It can be defined as the culture, beliefs, and behaviors of a
community that are passed to students outside formal course offerings. Recent
literature has demonstrated that formal medical student education about pain
management is woefully inadequate; therefore, students must rely on the
hidden curriculum to learn how to interact with patients with pain. The result
is that current suboptimal behaviors are passed on to the next generation of
physicians, who in turn, suffer the same frustrations from taking care of these
patients. This brief session sheds light upon the hidden curriculum and how
it relates to patients with pain. This session will discuss: differences between
the formal and hidden curricula, provide examples of the hidden curriculum of
pain management in the emergency department, and discuss ways to turn the
hidden curriculum into a positive experience that encourages evidence-based
and humane treatment of patients with pain. This will lead to better patient
care and reduce the frustration and stress that patients with chronic pain or
substance abuse disorders currently cause caretakers.

DS-91: Tools for Reproducible Research: Make Your
Papers Write Themselves
Harbor Island Ballroom 2 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the end of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Explain why reproducibility is important to their careers and to the field, 2.
Examine different approaches to reproducible research, and choose a format
that fits the structure of their project and team, 3. Download, install, and have
a basic knowledge of how to use key tools of reproducible research.
Description: With the advent of open clinical trials data, with science’s
reproducibility crisis, and with Congress basing critical decisions on papers
that are shown to have programming errors; interest in reproducible research
is increasing rapidly. A growing number of health services research, health
policy, and medical journals require data to be submitted along with papers.
A few are starting to request that authors show the path they took to get from
their original data to the numbers in the paper. Meeting this “replication
standard” may not be mandatory yet, but doing so is good science and can
help to future-proof research studies. Fortunately, reproducible science is also
efficient science when given the proper tools. This session will present the
need for reproducible research, including benefits to the broader community,
as well as to investigators themselves. The “replicate and extend” strategy for
young investigators to build a research portfolio when funding is scarce will
also be discussed. We will then discuss how to make reproducible papers. Less
drudgery and fewer errors will result.

impact patient care delivery, 3. Assess local issues and connect with national
and specialty wide efforts advancing work in this area.
Description: The session presents current challenges, opportunities and future
directions of efforts to advance evidence-based operations research towards
improve patient care delivery. These are critical components of ED patient
experience care and how effective our system is in achieving diagnoses and
appropriate treatment objectives. We aim to increase awareness, create a forum
for discussion and dissemination of national level work with local ED impact.

DS-42: Leadership Blind Spots: Revealing and
Overcoming Hidden Weaknesses
Harbor Island Ballroom 3 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Identify and discuss the most common leadership blind spots, 2. Illustrate
how blind spots can influence a leader’s effectiveness using case examples,
3. Describe practical strategies to reveal and confront hidden weaknesses, 4.
Recognize that addressing blind spots is essential for developing leaders.
Description: Every leader has blind spots—unconscious assumptions or
automatic behaviors that can limit effectiveness, or worse, sabotage a career.
Part one of this session will explore how blind spots develop, persist, and even
serve an adaptive role for leaders. Participants will learn the most common
unseen weaknesses, along with ways to increase self-awareness and change how
to see the “truths” that influence our actions. Part two will consist of facilitated
roundtable discussions with experienced EM leaders. Citing personal examples
as case studies, EM leaders will describe situations that exposed their blind
spots and how they learned from these experiences. The last segment will be a
summary of advice, lessons learned, and specific strategies for mitigating blind
spots. Participants will receive reference materials, key articles, 360 tools, and
other electronic resources after the session.

DS-48: Finding the Best Tour Guide to Your Research
Success: Mentoring in Emergency Medicine
Fairbanks Ballroom A – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Discuss means of identifying potential mentors, approaching them, and
assessing whether they are likely to be a good fit for a mentee, 2. Identify the
most important components of an ideal research mentor-mentee relationship,
3. Identify realistic goals and expectations to be gained from the research
mentoring process, 4. Differentiate how a view of research mentoring changes
with the stage of one’s career.
Description: Mentoring is comprised of a learner and teacher bound by
interaction over content, but seasoned by goals, expectations and personal
chemistry. It is distinct from advising or coaching. Residents and junior faculty
are often confused about how to identify appropriate research mentors, how
to approach them, and how to develop a successful working relationship with a
research mentor. The traditional style of “one size fits all” has been replaced by
the notion of developing a team of research mentors with different expertise,
for example, content, career and methodologic mentors. Attendees will hear
from research mentees and mentors at different stages in their career.

Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Define how point-of-care ultrasound can assist with the management of
common pediatric complaints in the emergency department, 2. Recognize the
ultrasound technique for each of the examinations discussed, 3. Discuss the
evidence surrounding point-of-care ultrasound for each of the indications and
procedures.
Description: The importance of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to the daily
practice of EM physicians has been established and is underscored by published
comprehensive guidelines by various EM organizations. The use of POCUS in
EM is rapidly expanding to include pediatric-specific applications that aid in
the diagnosis of pediatric clinical conditions. In this session, the use of novel
POCUS applications to manage common pediatric complaints will be presented.
Learn how POCUS can be used to guide diagnostic skills in the management
of pediatric abdominal pain, musculoskeletal pain, and respiratory distress;
common pearls and pitfalls, and present the most up-to-date evidence-based
approaches for each application; and how to integrate POCUS into clinical
decision making and management of their pediatric patients.

DS-77: Educational Consults
Catalina Ballroom – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. Develop an action plan to increase the quality of teaching through best
practices and peer consults, 2. Recognize how to increase educational research
productivity through teams, 3. Develop an action plan to increase the quality of
educational research through best practices and peer consults.
Description: Faculty often practices in an educational vacuum when
implementing programs and designing research. In addition, they focus on
clinical education, often at the expense of scholarship and research necessary
for promotion. This session will provide best practices in several key areas
and provide educational consults for participants to align their personal
educational interests with scholarly productivity that may aid in promotion.
This workshop will be presented by Distinguished Educators in the CORD
Academy for Scholarship in Education in Emergency Medicine. Participants
will select an area of interest: simulation, clinical assessment, bedside teaching,
didactic instruction, research, feedback, and evaluation. An academy member
will present a few best practices about their area of expertise and then move to
an educational consult. Participants will bring their educational problems for
the group to solve through facilitated small group discussions with an Academy
member to allow individualized mentoring. Finally, each group will report out
important lessons learned for the benefit of the large audience.

Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. List the concepts of Just Culture including the three duties, competing
values, and the three types of errors, 2. Apply the Just Culture framework to
emergency medicine cases.
Description: Robust analysis of adverse events and near misses is an
important component of improving quality and building a culture of safety,
yet traditionally such reviews have often been viewed as punitive and research
has shown that M&Ms in emergency medicine do not foster strong safety
cultures. The Just Culture is a model that successfully has been implemented
in other industries to address errors in a systematic, non-punitive manner.
The Just Culture focuses on balancing three duties (avoid causing unjustified
risk or harm, produce an outcome, follow a procedural rule) against competing
organizational and individual values (safety, cost, effectiveness, equity,
dignity, etc.). Actions are classified into 3 categories, which facilitate systems
improvements and fair individual responses. These are: 1) Human error—
inadvertent action; inadvertently doing other than what should have been
done, 2) At-risk behavior—behavior that increases risk where risk is not
recognized or is mistakenly believed to be justified, 3) Reckless behavior—
behavioral choice to consciously disregard a substantial and unjustifiable risk.

DS-36: I Taught, But They Didn’t Learn
Harbor Island Ballroom 2 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Define the concept of transfer, 2. State why it may not take place as a result
of teaching, 3. State three methods to encourage transfer.
Description: All learning is based on our ability to use what we have learned in
one situation to problem-solve or learn new information in another situation.
The term for this ability is known as transfer. Both educators and learners
struggle with the need of learners to be able to successfully transfer and use
what they have learned. Although humans transfer what they learn constantly,
ensuring that transfer occurs as a result of what has been taught, that the
transfer is correct, and whether it can be used by the learner does not always
occur. There are many theories on how to teach and study to increase transfer.
This presentation will discuss those theories and give practical examples of
their use.

DS-70: Interpreting the Prescription Drug Monitoring
Program
Point Loma Ballroom A – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Define the structure of prescription drug monitoring programs, 2. Discuss
literature that ties PDMP profiles to outcomes, such as overdose and overdose
death. 3. Implement PDMP use into their clinical practices in a standardized
and evidence-based fashion.
Description: Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) are databases
that collect and report prescription histories for medications with abuse
potential, regardless of where they were filled in a state. Prescribers can access
these databases as part of their clinical assessment and prior to writing a new
prescription. As opioid overdose deaths have reached epidemic proportions in
the U.S., these programs have proliferated and are considered an important
piece of the puzzle to help solve the opioid problem. In fact, PDMPs are now
active in 49 states. Most PDMPs provide prescription level data, but this
information is subject to the individual interpretation of each provider. How
should providers use this information to inform decisions? This session will
demystify this program.

Harbor Island Ballroom 3 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the end of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Describe characteristics of the clinician struggling with clinical teaching,
2. Diagnose the teaching difficulty in the struggling teacher, 3. Design a
practical, targeted intervention to assist a struggling clinical teacher with skill
development, 4. Describe the impact that teaching deficiencies have on the
teacher and on the learner.
Description: Clinical teaching is a skill that can be learned and developed
through deliberate practice. While attention has been paid to methods that
develop and remediate the struggling learner, the clinical teacher also can
struggle with the execution of their skills. Relatively little attention has been
paid to developing the struggling teacher. In this interactive, case-based session,
we will provide guidance on how to identify a struggling teacher, diagnose the
teaching problem, and develop interventions to address and improve skill
deficits. The impact of struggles with clinical teaching on the individual faculty
member and on trainees will be examined.

DS-49: Top 10 Digital Tools to Enhance Ultrasound
Education
Fairbanks Ballroom A – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the end of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Explain
various methods to teach point-of-care ultrasound, 2. Incorporate innovative
teaching methods in training emergency residents and fellows in ultrasound, 3.
Apply the evidence and develop strategies to improve point-of-care ultrasound
teaching practices.
Description: Despite the increasing use of ultrasound in clinical practice,
there is still a severe shortage of faculty with ultrasound expertise to meet the
growing demands for training emergency physicians. Besides didactics, one of
the unique components of ultrasound education is teaching the psychomotor
skills involved in performing bedside sonography. Recent technological
advancements have revolutionized teaching and learning in medicine. The use of
virtual reality simulation, social media and cloud computing technologies have
redefined learning and led to innovative teaching strategies. This session will
review asynchronous learning methods, laptop-based virtual reality ultrasound
training tools, web-based workflow solutions, social media and other resources
that provide didactic teaching, hands-on training, and knowledge assessment.
The discussion will also compare traditional approaches to self-directed
learning using asynchronous learning methods and virtual reality training
tools. Innovative techniques to teach point-of-care ultrasound along with latest
evidence will be presented.

DS-71: Inside the Study Section: What Sinks Great
Grant Proposals
Point Loma Ballroom A – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. Detail the hidden and poorly understood processes of grant review, 2.
Illuminate the psychology of the study section deliberations, anticipate and
mitigate study section members biases, 3. Point out common trip wires that
turn off reviewers, 4. Delineate and draw attention to key components of the
grant and avoid having these inadvertently become issues in the study section
deliberations.
Description: Emergency researchers experienced with NIH, AHRQ and CDC
study sections will discuss the grant review process. This includes study section
composition, triaging of grants, assignments for review, how grants are chosen
for discussion at the review panel meeting, politics of the discussion and how
to avoid bias traps of the reviewers, what parts of the grants are actually scored,
and what is not, how the final score is derived after discussion, dissecting the
“pink sheet”. In addition the session will concentrate of grant preparation (or
omissions) that prevent otherwise strong proposals from moving forward. The
approach to various programs (e.g., R03/R21/R23/R29, K-grants, RO-1, UO
grants, etc.) will be differentiated. A program project officer will discuss how
even highly scored grants may not be funded based on administrative issues.
By the end of the session, participants will understand the various hurdles
grant applications must pass, the detailed treatment of each proposal, how
to anticipate and mitigate biases of the study section, how scores are actually
derived, and how to avoid specific proposal weaknesses that automatically
degrade the potential for funding.

DS-44: Teaching Procedural Skills: Its Not…See One,
Do One, Teach One Anymore
Harbor Island Ballroom 3 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: After this session participants should be able to: 1. Assess a
learner’s content knowledge of a procedure prior to permitting the learner
to perform the procedure in a simulated or actual patient encounter, 2.
Demonstrate a procedure broken down in steps with verbalization of actions
for the procedure, 3. Differentiate between essential and preferential steps of
a skill, 4. Apply principles of deliberate practice with feedback and experiential
learning to teaching a procedural skill.
Description: Teaching procedures in the ED setting has been based upon the
apprentice-like model of See One, Do One, Teach One. This workshop seeks to
use a nonmedical procedure as the experiential substrate to illustrate a more
contemporary conceptual and practical framework for teaching procedures in
the ED. This workshop will highlight the importance of assessing a learner’s
content knowledge and their ability to describe and understand the steps of
a procedure prior to being able to perform it. The cornerstone of the session
will be an opportunity for participants to demonstrate principles of deliberate
practice in providing oversight and feedback to their peers who will be teaching
a new procedure. EM specific examples will be presented and discussed in the
session to provide participants practical resources for use in their own clinical
training environment.

Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Identify practical information on how and why to use PEM US in clinical
practice, 2. Recognize unique challenges of PEM US that differ from adult
educational models, 3. Establish a program and compare existing PEM US
curriculums in PEM fellowships versus EM-based fellowships, 4. Learn how to
create a research agenda in PEM US, 5. Discuss the future directions of POC US
education in PEM
Description: Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POC US) is a widely used clinical
modality in the ED. Not surprisingly, the use of POC US by pediatric emergency
medicine (PEM) physicians is increasing with subsequent demands for training.
A recent survey noted that 95% of PEM programs endorse the its use in the
emergency departments, and over 79% of these program offer a structured
emergency U.S. rotation. Despite the dramatic increase in education through
PEM fellowships, there is no standardized educational curriculum for PEM
fellows. A curriculum with a practical framework that is unique to PEM will
allow clinicians to learn and use the U.S. more consistently and safely. Lastly,
a relevant research component specific to PEM US ensures movement towards
improving ways to take care of our patients.

Objectives: After this session participants should be able to: 1. Debate general
thinking about traditional teaching, 2. Learn evidence from the teaching and
learning literature, 3. Apply the evidence to develop strategies to change and
improve your teaching practice.
Description: In teaching, medical educators, like in clinical practice, should
use the evidence from the education literature and incorporate it into their
teaching practice. This session will help participants translate the evidence from
some landmark education articles. The evidence will be briefly presented, then,
in small groups the participants will problem solve from their own setting and
plan solutions. The workshop will be highly interactive, requiring participants
to use both the evidence and apply it to their teaching, learning and assessment
practices. The participants will learn the evidence in these areas for effective
teaching and assessment, take home strategies for improving their teaching
using and develop a plan for how they will incorporate the evidence into their
teaching practice.

DS-50: The Future of Health Surveillance and
Research Using Big Data Analytics
Fairbanks Ballroom A – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: After this session participants should be able to: 1. Describe the
potential surveillance and research opportunities that are developing using big
datasets, 2. Identify areas of opportunity for using big data analytics in their
community, 3. Discuss how the availability of big data is transforming the
future of healthcare.
Description: The development of big data sources and analytics has expanded
as a result of the integration of information technology into healthcare. This is
true in all levels of healthcare delivery, but may directly impact safety net and
frontline providers the most. These opportunities are stemming from the broad
43
implementation of certified EHR technology, health information exchanges,
and other approaches that leverage information technology for patient care.
Two of these big data sources include the Public Health HUB and Emergency
Medical Services (EMS) HUB. The presenters include a health services
researcher who has been on the forefront of this evolving field and a leader in
healthcare analytics who has helped develop big data analytic methodology and
systems for the public and private sector. This session will demonstrate how
Community Big Data – emergency medical, population and public health – can
be used to support consumers, businesses as well as EM modeling, simulation
and forecasts using real-world production solutions.

Fairbanks Ballroom B – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: After this session participants should be able to: 1. Engage in
moral reasoning regarding a physician’s duty to treat in the context of global
epidemics, 2. Describe empirical data regarding physician attitudes relevant
to the duty to treat in the context of epidemics, 3. Enumerate the policy
implications and research gaps related to professional responsibilities vis-à-vis
caring for patients in the context of an epidemic.
Description: Epidemics and pandemics (e.g., SARS, Influenza, Ebola) appear
to be on the rise. EM physicians are uniquely skilled to play frontline roles in
addressing the public’s healthcare and informational needs. In an era where
both clinicians and patients routinely cross national borders, the moral
responsibilities and empirical data related to “fight” or “flight” in treating such
outbreaks merits reexamination. In this session, we will begin with a clinical
scenario to encourage audience reflection regarding the duty of emergency
clinicians to treat patients during an epidemic that poses personal risks. This
hypothetical vignette will be followed by a presentation of an ethical argument
for a physician duty to treat during epidemics and a moral framework for
gauging when such a duty can be overridden. The panel also will present
empirical data that describes clinicians’ typical and predicted fight or flight
responses when facing epidemics. Finally, participants should be able to discuss
the practical ethics of responding to global epidemics.

DS-28: Early Care of Patients with Septic Shock: Current
Data, Implications, and Future Research
Grande Ballroom C – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: After this session participants should be able to: 1. Describe the
design and outcomes of the three recent large randomized trials in early septic
shock care, 2. List two key differences among the three trials and between
those trials and the previous foundational work, 3. Name the key policy and
regulatory stakeholders and the current postures of each on delivering early
septic shock care, 4. List two future avenues to help drive research to decrease
septic shock mortality via early intervention(s).
Description: The 2001 Rivers (et al) trial on early goal directed therapy
in ED patients with septic shock demonstrated the benefit of an aggressive,
multifaceted approach to this highly fatal illness. In the decade since, follow-up
research documented the practical benefit; however, three recently completed
trials—U.S. (ProCESS), Australia (ARISE) and the UK (ProMISE)—studied the
2001 approach in a contemporary setting, honing the thinking on optimal care.
These trials, plus the 2010 Jones (et al) study evaluating lactate clearance as a
guide for aggressive therapy, inform practice and future research. This session
will the three new trials and the previous work, focusing on design similarities
and differences; then compare and contrast the results as well as the impact of
the cumulative data, care and policy. Also learn potential strategies for future
research that focuses on implementation, new therapy, broader outcomes, and
uptake in care.

the role and avenues of community engagement, 2. Identify patient-centric
outcomes and their role in research, 3. Recognize the purpose and role of the
NIH’s PROMIS measures.
Description: Research is traditionally designed using endpoints that
researchers deem to be important. It is often unclear whether these endpoints
are also the most important to patients. PCORI has changed this landscape
and now requires researchers to engage patients in study design and as coinvestigators. This has changed the landscape for EM researchers. This session
offers insight into how to include patients in study design and how this has
impacted the view of the NIH on patient-centered research.

DS-79: Cognitive Apprenticeship: A Roadmap to
Improve Clinical Teaching
Catalina Ballroom – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: After this session participants should be able to: 1. Discuss the
six main teaching methods associated with cognitive apprenticeship theory,
2. Analyze common scenarios where cognitive apprenticeship theory might
inform teaching and learning in clinical practice, 3. Apply the principles
of cognitive apprenticeship theory to improve clinical teaching using case
vignettes directed at varying learner levels.
Description: Clinical teachers are instructing a broad range of learners in the
ED, from pre-clinical students, to clerkship students and PGY 1-4 residents
training in professional practice. Many clinical educators have received limited
formal exposure to faculty development that is focused on theories of workplacebased learning. Since the quality of clinical supervision is a critical factor in our
students’ success, faculty development strategies that link educational theory
with clinical practice are appealing. Cognitive apprenticeship (CA) theory was
first described by Collins et al. in 1989. The theory was designed to make explicit
the internal thought processes of experts for students to observe, endorse and
practice them. Six main teaching methods were described: modeling, coaching,
scaffolding, articulation, reflection and exploration that have implications
for clinical instruction. Recent studies have demonstrated how this theory
resonates with actual practice in medical education, and highlight areas for
improvement in clinical teaching.

DS-51: Game-changers in Coagulopathy of Trauma?
TEG and PROPPR Trial
Fairbanks Ballroom A – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: After this session participants should be able to: 1. Recognize the
evidence for thromboelastography as a novel tool for management of acute
trauma, 2. Review the results of the PROPPR Trial and what it will mean for the
future of research on the ideal ratio of blood products in massive transfusion
of the trauma patient.
Description: Coagulopathy of trauma is a common concern in acute major
trauma and a significant contributor to mortality. Present assessment tools
for coagulopathy (INR, PTT) are not accurate or timely. Thrombelastography
(TEG) is a point-of-care test that measures viscoelastic changes of the clotting
process and has emerged as a potentially valuable asset in guiding the use of
blood products such as platelets, cryoprecipitate, and fibrinogen concentrate.
The session will focus on describing and critiquing the available literature on
TEG as a tool in the management of acute trauma. A trial began in August of
2012 and concluded enrollment in December 2013. Although this data analysis
is currently underway, find lessons learned from this much anticipated trial.

Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Define social EM and describe its relevance to the health and clinical care of
vulnerable ED populations, such as human trafficking survivors, 2. Cite three
important links between human trafficking and the healthcare system; and
3. List three ways in which academic social emergency medicine can directly
advance human trafficking research and education in the U.S.
Description: Global health research has established the relevance of human
trafficking to health. Human trafficking victims suffer poor health and mental
health outcomes as a result of the physical, sexual, and psychological trauma
endured. Health-related research on U.S. victims of human trafficking,
however, is scarce. Investigational efforts to study the health outcomes and
needs of this vulnerable population have proven challenging, thus thwarting
efforts to understand the public health implications of human trafficking as
they relate to traumatic brain injury, HIV, substance abuse, post-traumatic
stress disorder, and suicide, to name a few. The limited survey-based on current
research suggests: victims of human trafficking are accessing healthcare while
under the control of their traffickers; a significant percentage of victims access
healthcare through emergency departments; and (3) identification of victims in
the healthcare setting is infrequent due to multiple barriers, including provider
knowledge and skills gaps. This new understanding has not only solidified
the relevance of human trafficking to all health professions, but in particular
highlights the need for closing the knowledge gap among emergency physicians
and trainees.

DS-45: How to Effectively Supervise and Teach
Residents: Entrustment and Autonomy
Harbor Island Ballroom 3 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. Describe the factors affecting autonomy, 2. Navigate the barriers to
entrustment, 3. Appropriately facilitate resident autonomy and grant trainee
suitable entrustment of patient care to enhance resident education.
Description: The goal of residency is to train residents to manage patients
independently, while the role of the attending faculty is to provide both
appropriate supervision and autonomy. This concept has been termed
entrustment and is essential for implementation of the milestones. As residents
progress along their milestones, the role of the supervising physician is to
grant incremental responsibilities of patient care to residents with concurrent
reduction in clinical oversight. This entrustment of professional activities
to each resident by each faculty member varies based on multiple influences
including practice environment, patient severity of illness and complexity, and
factors unique to each faculty member and resident. In this session, we will
use our understanding of how leveraging entrustment can create an effective
learning environment. We will explore resident perceptions of autonomy, the
learning environment, and strategies for faculty to enhance resident learning
within this framework.

Tabulate the advantages and limitations of using quality improvement data in
research, 2. Identify sources of error and bias in retrospectively collected data,
3. Describe features of a high-quality chart review.
Description: Although often considered inferior to the randomized controlled
trial, retrospective studies such as chart reviews and the secondary use of
quality improvement (QI) data play an important role in generation of evidence
and in early hypothesis testing. Well-done chart reviews and QI projects can
drive research agendas, provide pilot data for subsequent studies, and shape
research careers. Chart reviews, the abstraction of data from existing medical
records, are a commonly utilized research methodology, but the quality of
published research varies widely. Attendees will learn planning, conducting,
and publishing high-quality chart reviews by discussing strategies to
minimize error and bias. QI projects play an important role in the workflow
of all EDs. Rigorously studying the process of implementing new workflows,
medications or devices is critical to determining the safety and efficacy in a
specific environment. The secondary use of the QI data for research can benefit
the greater medical community by disseminating the impact that quality
interventions have on patient outcomes.
This is one of three lectures in this year’s research methodology series; it is part
of a multi-year broad-based research curriculum designed to equip residents
and junior faculty with introductory research training.

Research
Fairbanks Ballroom B – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Appreciate the potential applications and use of Medicare databases in EM
research, 2. Recognize the strengths and limitations of Medicare utilization
data, 3. Indicate how to apply to use CMS databases for research purposes.
Description: By 2030 approximately 19% of the U.S. population will be 65
years of age or older. These older adults represent a disproportionate and
growing proportion of ED patients. Accordingly, future emergency research is
needed to care for older ED patients. More than 98% of individuals 65 years
of age or older are enrolled in Medicare, therefore these datasets can provide a
robust research opportunity for evaluating care provided to this group. You will
learn: the changing age demographics of the U.S., research opportunities using
CMS datasets, and an in-depth introduction to the Medicare datasets available
through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Research
Data Assistance Center (ResDAC).

Description: This course will introduce a successful approach to having
residents participate in a RCA of a mock case to introduce patient safety
improvement in the hospital setting and meet an ACGME milestone. This
approach entails: developing a complicated case concerning safety across
many disciplines (pharmacy, radiology, laboratory, ED, and surgery), filming a
15-minute video of the made-up case, preparing documents related to the case,
and getting multiple faculty members involved to guide the residents during
the dedicated conference day. This course also will describe the implementation
to conduct department quality reviews and interviewing the case participants.
Finally, it will discuss the solutions suggested by residents during the mock
RCA process and their evaluations of the day.

DS-33: Clinical Trial Registration: Essential Knowledge
for Investigators, Peer Reviewers, and Clinicians
Harbor Island Ballroom 1 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Identify which studies require registration in a trials registry, 2. Register a trial
on ClinicalTrials.gov, 3. Utilize registry searches when conducting peer reviews
or interpreting results from a clinical trial.
Description: Clinical trial registration has received increased attention from
regulators, journal editors, and the general public. Registries have emerged
as an important resource to help assess the quality of published clinical
trials, and they provide a powerful tool with which to detect publication bias.
Recent data shows that trial registries remain inconsistently used within the
research community. To ensure that investments in clinical trials yield benefits
to patients, it is critical that EM researchers understand both the regulatory
requirements governing trial registration and the ways that registry data can
inform interpretation of the medical literature. This session will begin with
an overview of current Federal requirements for trial registration and an
explanation of how to register a trial on ClinicalTrials.gov. It also will cover how
Journal editors and peer reviewers can use trials registries to help assess the
quality of submitted manuscripts and how to identify unpublished trial data.

DS-63: Coaching to Create the Adaptive Learner: A New
Paradigm in Medical Education
Fairbanks Ballroom C – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Define an adaptive learner in ME, 2. Describe the characteristics of successful
student and resident coaches, 3. Develop a plan for using the adaptive learner/
coaching construct in their own educational roles.
Description: The lifetime amount of information that physicians are
responsible for is staggering and ever-changing. Medical education is
increasingly recognizing the need to train students and residents who are
lifelong learners. While the ACGME Practice-Based Learning and Improvement
competency provides a beacon to residency leaders, efforts often focus on
improving the system rather than the learner’s own knowledge. Additionally,
best practices in addressing self-improvement in undergraduate ME are in
nascent stages. To develop lifelong adaptive learners, it is necessary to decipher
the best way train residents and students in these strategies and habits. This
session will review the newest literature and thought-leader visions and visit
the concept of an educational “coach,” which is different from an advisor,
teacher, or mentor. Take-home strategies for education leaders to use in their
own curriculum planning, clinical teaching, and educational programming to
nurture the development of adaptive learners at their own institutions will also
be covered.

DS-74: Benchmarking Academic Departments of
Emergency Medicine: Results of the 2015 Annual
Emergency Medicine Benchmark Survey
Point Loma Ballroom A – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
1. Recognize some of the idiosyncrasies of academic emergency medicine data,
2. Describe the results of the most recent AAAEM Benchmark Survey including
key performance metrics on ED operations, education and research activity, 3.
Utilize the results in their own institution for comparison.
Description: Benchmarking performance is fundamental to performance
improvement: clinical, operational or research and education. Key performance
metrics must be compared to like institutions for benchmarking to be of value.
Because they face competing missions of research, education and patient care,
academic medical centers and EDs, will be benchmarked against other academic
centers and not community hospital emergency department standards. The
Academy of Administrators in Academic Emergency Medicine conducts an
annual survey of academic medical center Departments of Emergency Medi
cine, gathering operational and financial data on measures where there is
value in comparison. The purpose of the survey is to allow direct comparison
of resources among academic departments as they seek to provide high-quality
patient care, education and meaningful research. This course presents the
results of the 2015 AAAEM survey, including data trends over the last five
years.

DS-40: Crossfire: Controversies in Toxicologic
Emergency Medicine
Harbor Island Ballroom 2 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able
to: 1. Describe the optimal indications and timing for administration of
lipid emulsion therapy in poisoned patients. 2. Discuss the cost vs benefit
of antivenom in copperhead envenomation. 3. Explain the risk vs benefit of
prescribing naloxone from the ED. 4. Describe the controversy over obtaining
serum ethanol concentrations in intoxicated patients. 5. Highlight the role of
urine toxicology testing in poisoned patients.
Description: Poisoned patients constitute a significant part of the practice of
emergency medicine. Because performing clinical research in this population
has many practical and ethical limitations, management is often guided by
experience rather than strict evidence. We will discuss, in a point-counterpoint
style, along with audience participation, several of the current controversies
that arise frequently or have serious implications.

Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Identify the rationale for creating a collaborative network for simulation-based
assessment of milestones, 2. Describe the basic steps necessary to develop a
similar session.
Description: The implementation of the Next Accreditation System has
required Clinical Competency Committees within EM to develop assessment
strategies to evaluate the performance of the residents during their training.
Simulation is one method that is useful for providing a standardized and
reproducible environment in which to observe resident performance. During
this session, we will describe our successful process behind the creation of the
Chicagoland Emergency Medicine Group for Milestones Assessment. Six EM
residency programs collaborated to develop a simulation-based assessment
that occurs in the middle of the PGY-2 year. The selection of subcompetencies
include: the creation of cases to elucidate observations to milestones and
development of assessment tools to collect these observations. The city-wide
assessment occurred over two days in February 2014, testing 83 of the 89
PGY-2 residents at six EM residency programs in Chicago. Finally, learn about
factors that other collaborative groups should consider prior to undertaking a
similar project.

DS-61: Out of the SIM Lab and Into the Emergency
Department: 10 Tips to Conduct In-Situ Simulation
for Emergency Physicians
Fairbanks Ballroom B – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. Identify the benefits and shortcomings for using in-situ simulation as a
training method within the ED, 2. Apply 10 evidence-based tips for a successful
in-situ simulation session, 3. Develop a plan for the implementation of an ED
in-situ simulation session that meets the needs of the clinical team members.
Description: In-situ simulation (ISS) was developed as a strategy to enhance
traditional simulation training by using actual clinical teams in the workplace
during working hours. ISS is recognized as a valuable method to enhance
technical skill proficiency, reinforce desirable team behaviors among real
team members, identify latent hazards within the clinical environment and
optimize workplace ergonomics. Despite these benefits, adoption of ISS into
emergency medicine remains scarce. Several challenges exist that hinder
ISS implementation during ED shifts, including lack of physical space, time
constraints and lack of familiarity with the technique among educators; these
challenges, however, may be overcome with proper planning and appropriate
resource allocation. The session will focus primarily on ten practical tips for
emergency medicine educators to safely and effectively implement in-situ
simulation at their own institution.

Effective Tactics to Convey Empathy
Fairbanks Ballroom C – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Define the neurobiology and evidence-based benefits of empathy, 2. Describe
factors that affect self-perception and patient-perception of empathetic
interactions, 3. Apply techniques to enhance delivery of empathy, especially
with difficult patient interactions.
Description: Empathy is defined as the ability to understand the feelings
and perspective of another person. However, specific instruction in empathy
is missing or given trivial attention in most medical schools and residency
training programs. Fortunately, several studies have examined the science
and art of empathy. Empathy has proven to increase patient satisfaction and
provider satisfaction. There are practical and simple techniques to increase
empathic behaviors even the chaotic setting of an ED. The audience will be
able to apply these techniques on their next clinical shift for patient-centered
bedside communication.

Point Loma Ballroom A – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the end of this session, the participants should be able to: 1.
Apply the process of medical clearance, 2.Recognize the need for laboratory
evaluation, 3.Classify psychiatric boarders in the ED, and 4. Summarize new
treatments for agitated patients.
Description: Most EDs nationwide do not have access to on-call psychiatrists
or other mental health professionals. The burden of care has shifted to
emergency physicians. The relatively new field of ED-based psychiatry has
identified an expanding role of the emergency physician in the care and
treatment of psychiatric patients in the ED. Many academic and practicing
emergency physicians are uncomfortable with the care of these patients. This
is analogous to the treatment of the acute myocardial infarct and acute stroke
patients with thrombolytic therapy when a cardiologist or neurologist had to
approve treatment in the ED. This presentation will provide many answers in
the evolving care of these patients.

Description: Does an increasing focus on quality measurement benefit or
harm resident education? The ballooning number of measures and their
impact on physician and hospital reimbursement has trickled down to resident
education in the multiple ways from the organization of ED care such as having
providers at triage. This session will feature an engaging point-counterpoint
discussion about whether this change has helped or hampered resident
DS-41: Keep Calm and Carry Naloxone:
The Public Health Implications of Antidotal Therapy
for Opioid Poisoning
Harbor Island Ballroom 2 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the end of this session, the participants should be able to: 1.
Discuss the data that supports and refutes the safe use of take-home naloxone,
2. Highlight the properties of several programs that distribute naloxone
for bystander use, 3. Describe how to manage patients who develop opioid
withdrawal following the administration of naloxone.
Description: This five word phrase is being uttered across the USA as a means to
prevent death from opioid overdose. Given the current epidemic of prescription
drug mortality and the rising tide of heroin deaths, many jurisdictions have
made naloxone available for bystander use to treat victims of potentially fatal
opioid overdoses. Emergency physicians are being asked both to increase
the accessibility of naloxone for high risk populations and to treat patients
who have received this life-saving antidote. Although the use is not without
controversy, emergency physicians are frequently engaged in prescribing or
dispensing naloxone to our high-risk patient population. This session will
describe several of the existing programs and discuss the current data on the
balance of benefit and risk of this important public health intervention. In
addition, there will be a discussion of the optimal approach to manage patients
who present to the ED with precipitated opioid withdrawal following layperson
naloxone administration.

of ongoing skill acquisition, credentialing, and risk management, 2. Implement
such a program with a better ideology of how to go about it.
Description: Medical simulation-based training has become widespread in
use for both undergraduate and graduate medical education. Beyond residency,
there are limited options for ongoing training, and mostly it exists as passive
learning modalities (lecture based CME activities). Physicians are required
to participate in MOC and LLSA activities to maintain board certification;
however, these standards are difficult to relate to ongoing excellence in clinical
practice. In this didactic, we will explore the role of simulation as it pertains
to ongoing faculty training, credentialing, and risk management. A panel of
experts will discuss the needs for formalized programs, promoting skills
maintenance and acquisition, while addressing strategies to overcome potential
barriers to implementation (legal, financial, and cultural). Lessons learned in
the implementation of a unique malpractice insurance company sponsored
multi-institutional EM Faculty Simulation program in NYC will be discussed,
as well as opportunities to better understand gaps in knowledge regarding the
development of performance benchmarks.

Gender into Faculty Development
Fairbanks Ballroom C - Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Describe three major strategies for the development and advancement of
women in academic emergency medicine: (a) Self-promotion/self-efficacy, (b)
peer mentorship and other innovative mentorship tools, (c)sponsorship.
Description: Despite significant progress in the numbers of women completing
medical school, there are still relatively few women who reach departmental
leadership positions in academic EM. Some cite gender differences in behaviors;
women describe themselves as being less ‘ready’ for leadership positions and
are less likely to self-promote. Mentorship and faculty development of women
will be gender-specific, focusing on differences in communication to facilitate
the advancement and retention of women in academics. The session will
focus on three areas: focus will be teaching women tools for self-efficacy and
self-promotion, the role of sponsorship in the advancement of women, and
innovative mentorship solutions including peer-mentoring.

DS-68: From the ED to the Field: Educating a New
Generation of Disaster Responders
Fairbanks Ballroom D – Bay Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. Asses the core competencies for disaster medicine critical to successful
deployment to an austere setting, 2. Identify critical components of disaster
education sessions and implementation strategies for the sessions, 3. Describe
a structured disaster education curriculum for emergency medicine students,
residents and faculty.
Description: EM physicians are ideally suited to respond to disasters. Their
efficiency of care in ED segues well into the resource-constrained environment
of a disaster response. In early 2012, Disaster Medicine and Public Health
Preparedness, the disaster journal of the AMA, developed its core competencies
for disaster medicine. These competencies provide the basis for embedding
50
disaster response education within emergency medicine and medical student
education. Disaster response issues include: caring for critically ill patients
with limits on resources, time, and personnel; exacerbation of chronic illness
in disaster victims; management of spontaneous volunteer responders with
unknown capabilities or skillsets; and long work hours in austere conditions. By
providing an interactive disaster education session, we can encourage response
while ensuring safety, efficiency, and efficacy. Pre-response competency in
specific areas of disaster management will allow for a more timely and adaptable
response. This session will focus on identifying the most critical DMPHP core
competencies and how best to include them in a disaster emergency medicine
curriculum.

Description: Marijuana legalization has impacted the health and research
landscape in Colorado. Emerging health consequences include both expected
(increase ED visits for intoxication) and unexpected (pediatric ingestions and
butane explosions). As states liberalize marijuana use, EM physicians need to
be familiar with how patients use the drug, at risk groups, health consequences,
potential therapeutic indications, and research questions. This session will bring
together EM experts, pediatric emergency medicine and medical toxicology.
Attendees will learn the impact of marijuana in the pediatric population
focusing on edible marijuana products and parents treating their children with
cannabinoids (i.e. cancer and seizures); health effects in the adult population
focusing on exacerbation of chronic medical conditions such as asthma and
schizophrenia; and research opportunities and the unique obstacles to studying
a substance that is legal on the state level but heavily regulated on the national

in the ED. 2. Describe at least two evidence-based interventions that target ED
patient discharge processes. 3. Present several mechanisms for evaluating the
impact of a discharge-related training and operational interventions.
Description: The process of discharging a patient from the ED presents a
significant threat to patient safety due to patient-, hospital-, and practitionerrelated factors. While this issue exists in other areas of healthcare, the dynamic,
time-pressured, highly variable environment of the ED presents additional
challenges and inhibits safety mechanisms demonstrated to be effective
in other settings. Attendees will learn discharge practices and barriers to a
consistent patient-centered process in their institutions; an overview of the
discharge process literature, focusing on emergency medicine; educational
and operational interventions that target all three (practitioner, patient, and
environment) barriers to effective discharges; and how to further this line of
inquiry and create an educational and operational agenda around discharge
processes.

DS-83: Crossfire: FOAMed
Grande Ballroom C – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Describe the current status of medical education, 2. Describe how today’s
learners access and remember information in the digital age and how FOAMed
and social media can fuel this process, 3. Discuss the benefits of medical
education infused with entertainment, FOAMed, and social media over
traditional means of delivering medical education
Description: The structure of current, modern day medical education is built
upon a solid foundation of free open access medical education (FOAMed) and
social media. Gone are the days of teaching and learning experiences based
on 30 pound textbooks and outdated journal articles. Medical education has
moved “out” of the book and onto the internet. Most learners in today’s world
receive their daily dose of medical education through blogs, podcasts, and social
media. The presenters have encountered a “FOAM Curmudgeon” and would
like to bring this mystery educator into a live debate to try to convince him
that edutainment, FOAMed, and social media are the perfect fuels for active
learning.

DS-89: Clear the Hurdles and Achieve Success in
Academic Emergency Medicine: A Perspective from the
Chairs
Harbor Island Ballroom 1 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Describe three major strategies to optimize the retention, motivation, and
advancement of faculty in academic EM, 2. Identify potential obstacles that
may be affecting one’s career motivation and/or advancement, 3. Identify key
elements needed to support one’s career advancement, 4. Establish an approach
to clear a personal hurdle and explore approaches.
Description: In this session, using case scenarios as examples, department
chairs will share the knowledge, experiences, strategies and resources they have
used to retain, motivate, and inspire faculty, at all stages of their academic career.
Specific attention will be paid to include strategies for faculty at different stages
of their careers. Cases will focus on topics such as helping faculty to maintain
academic productivity, to find a niche, and to switch tracks within an academic
career when needed. Finally, institutional and department policies pertaining to
accommodations for female and male faculty during pregnancy and maternity/
paternity leave, and night shift distribution across the generations will be
reviewed, as these issues have the potential to have significant effects on faculty
52
retention and continued motivation to stay in academia. The session will start
with a brief introduction summarizing literature on “burn-out” specifically
related to academic emergency medicine and then will review techniques used
to inspire the workforce in an era of increased demands from a variety of fields.
There will be approximately 10 minutes for questions at the end of the session.

DS-96: Public Perceptions of Exception from
Informed Consent
Harbor Island Ballroom 2 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. Cite the current state of literature on attitudes of the public and trial
participants related to EFIC trials. 2. Describe real-world challenges with EFIC
trials such as public misconceptions, minority populations and strategies to
improve public education and the community consultation process.
Description: Examining the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions in
the earliest phases of treatment requires enrollment in clinical trials without
prospective consent. Regulations allowing an exception from informed consent
(EFIC) were developed to facilitate important studies while protecting critically
ill participants. Attendees will learn: the current state of literature in regards
to public and trial participants attitudes toward EFIC trials; controversies and
challenges with conducting EFIC trials over the past 20 years and potential
strategies for refining the community consultation and patient engagement
process; and opportunities to enhance public education and awareness of EFIC
trials through media.

DS-104: Moving the EM Learner from
Reporter to Educator
Harbor Island Ballroom 3 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. Define the RIME evaluation system for learners and apply to learners,
2. Review one minute preceptor model, Aunt Minnie Model and SNAPPS, 3.
Identify the bedside teaching method that supports learners progress at each
level of the RIME evaluation system.
Description: The RIME system is used to evaluate learners on a simple, but
effective continuum ranging from a reporter of information to an educator of
the clinical team and patient. This systematic approach to evaluating learners
has been validated in the ED and with various levels of learners. While the
RIME system provides a basic structure for evaluation, it offers little insight
to the educator on how best to help the learner progress through the different
stages of the continuum. The educator has many bedside teaching strategies to
choose from when working with learners, however, it is hard to determine the
most effective. This session will work to define effective teaching techniques to
be used at each level of learner in the RIME evaluation system. We will start by
briefly reviewing and applying RIME to different learners. Once we are able to
diagnose where a learner is located on this continuum we can set about linking
bedside teaching strategies which are most effective in helping them advance to
the next learning stage. This concept of choosing a bedside teaching technique
based on the learners RIME evaluation is novel.

DS-111: Bootstrapping: What, When and How!
Point Loma Ballroom A – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to
explain: what bootstrapping is, how the bootstrap accounts for uncertainty in
statistical parameters, and when its use is appropriate.
This session aims to familiarize researchers with the bootstrap, a powerful tool
for health services, epidemiologic, quality improvement, and public health
research in emergency medicine. Attendees will learn when to bootstrap to
solve intuitively tricky statistical problems, and how to do so. The speakers
demonstrate how this powerful tool can be used by all researchers by themselves
or in conjunction with their statistician. Bootstrapping may be used to improve
the quality of analysis of many research problems facing modern emergency
medical researchers.

DS-124: Clinical Informatics: A New Subspecialty
Available to Emergency Physicians
Coronado A – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. Define clinical informatics, 2. Describe the new subspecialty and four
major core content areas, 3. Identify the requirements for board certification
in Clinical Informatics, including the practice and fellowship training pathways.
Description: analyzing, designing, implementing, and evaluating information
and communication systems. In EDs, clinical informatics has the potential to
increase the accuracy and completeness of medical histories, improve patient
flow, reduce medication errors, and increase appropriate use of diagnostic
imaging. As hospitals and EDs adopt EHRs, physicians with expertise in
clinical informatics are highly sought after to help implement and to optimize
these systems to provide efficient, cost-effective, and high-quality care. This
session will review the development of the Clinical Informatics subspecialty
and core curriculum. The American Board of Preventive Medicine offers
subspecialization in this field to physicians with at least one current certification
from an American Board of Medical Specialties member. Participants will learn
the requirements for board certification and how they may become through
practice or fellowship pathways.
DS-131: Going There/Coming Home: Preparing for
Global EM Experiences
Coronado B – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Counsel faculty and trainees about the range of available IEM opportunities and
how to access them, 2. Identify the factors to seek or avoid when researching
IEM opportunities, 3. Prepare to diminish entry and re-entry culture shock.
Description: What information do emergency physicians, residents, medical
students and other healthcare professionals lack when seeking to embark on
an International EM experience? This session provides a succinct practical
overview of two vital aspects of IEM for which faculty, residents and students
often have the least preparation and find the most perplexing: (1) how to find
and select an international organization with positions that match your goals,
skill sets, and personal needs; and (2) how to prepare for and take measures
to ameliorate entry (when arriving in-country) and re-entry (when returning
home) culture shock. Designed both for those who teach and advise prospective
IEM participants and for the participants themselves, this discussion couples
substantial IEM experience with research-based evidence.

DS-84: Academics in Emergency Medicine: We’re Part of
the Problem
Grande Ballroom C – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Summarize the underlying philosophy of the current approach to EM training,
2. Differentiate whether or not the underpinnings of this approach are patientcentered, 3. Recognize that current teaching can often represent questionable
practice, 4. Interpret how this approach is financially unsustainable.
Description: EM practiced in academic medical centers is a bellwether, and
EM trainees learn a consistent corpus of knowledge and philosophy of practice.
This session explores ingrained problems with the current academic approach
to EM, and discusses both the viability and moral hazard of the current model
at a time of economic instability and flux in our healthcare system.

DS-97: An Evidence-Based Approach to the Use of
Emergency Department Observation Units
DIDACTIC PRESENTATIONS - FRIDAY, MAY 15
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. Demonstrate the critical need for Emergency Medicine physicians to
acquire medical and forensic skills particular to the evaluation of sexual assault
victims, 2. Describe the skills necessary for the care of sexual assault victims,
3. Identify barriers to resident knowledge and skill acquisition in the care of
sexual assault victims, 4. Provide strategies for implementing successful sexual
assault training programs.
Description: EM trainees must acquire an extensive breadth of knowledge
and during their residency training. While most areas are covered with
adequate exposure and repetition in the emergency department, some are
not. Procedures such as cricothyriodotomy and pericardiocentesis are often
reviewed in simulation labs or training sessions to supplement bedside learning,
however care of the sexual assault victim is at times overlooked. In 1999, over
50,000 U.S. women sought emergency care after sexual assault (CDC, 2001).
In an attempt to improve patient care, sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE)
programs have grown dramatically over the past decade. This model has been
most successful at academic centers leading to improved evidence collection
and patient satisfaction. However, one potential unintended consequence of
SANE programs is decreased physician exposure and resident education. This
course will review the basic knowledge necessary for all ED physicians in caring
for victims of sexual assault and provide tools for conveying this information
to trainees. Ensuring that residency trainees have the basic skills to assist their
patients in this difficult time is important in building a well-rounded residency
graduate.

Objectives: At the completion of this course, participants should be able to:
1. Describe the advantages of a dedicated, protocol driven observation unit, 2.
Discuss pitfalls of routine stress testing in the ED observation unit, 3. Indicate
advantages of ED observation units for patients presenting with syncope
and pulmonary embolus, 4. Discuss areas of future research in observation
medicine.
Description: Reduction in inpatient admission and inpatient bed days is
an important component in decreasing overall healthcare expenditures. In
addition, the “2 midnight rule” will bring a change to the admitting landscape
for most emergency physicians. Emergency Department Observation Units
(EDOUs) are essential in the strategy of saving healthcare dollars and caring
for patients who do not meet the 2 midnight rule. EDOUs have been shown to
decrease hospital admissions and inpatient bed days as well as decrease cost
and time spent in the hospital for select groups of patients. Currently, greater
than one-third of U.S. hospitals have an observation unit or are planning on
starting one. This session will review the state of the literature for best practices
in starting and running an EDOU as well as defining a research agenda for the
future. Finally, this session will highlight pressing questions in observation
medicine such as which patients with acute heart failure, syncope or low risk
chest pain are safe to be discharged from the Emergency Department, which
should go to the observation unit and which need inpatient admission.

DS-105: The Observation Unit Is Your Lab:
Considerations for Research
DIDACTIC PRESENTATIONS - FRIDAY, MAY 15
Harbor Island Ballroom 3 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of different study designs related
to observation patients, 2. Describe the areas of observation medicine with
evidence, 3. Differentiate between quality improvement and research in the
context of observation care, 4. Recognize the challenge of achieving adequate
power in a patient population with rare clinical outcomes.
Description: Emergency physicians are increasingly caring for patients
in observation units as they proliferate due to both payers and hospital
administrators pushing for shorter hospital stays. For some conditions, such
as chest pain, there is a rich literature base informing various management
strategies for the observation patient. However, there is new evidence that
outpatient management of conditions previously considered inpatient only
(e.g., pulmonary embolism, febrile neutropenia) may be appropriate in carefully
selected patients. As a result, there is an enormous opportunity to conduct
research in the observation unit to help establish the safety and efficacy
of novel protocols. In this session we will describe the approach to studying
observation patients.

DS-112: EBM Vs. EBM: Why We Need Evidence-Based
and Experience-Based Medicine
Point Loma Ballroom A – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the end of the session, the participants should be able to: 1.
Recount the rationale for early trauma and cardiac resuscitation practices, 2.
Articulate the circumstances that prompted formal studies of these practices,
3. Delineate the limitations of “gold standard,” multi-center controlled clinical
trials in trauma and cardiac arrest, 4) Describe new strategies for why and how
to re-think and “re-search” current clinical practices.
Description: Many decades-old standard practices in trauma and cardiac
resuscitation seemed empirically logical or were supported by liberal
interpretation of basic science models. These practices eventually came under
closer scrutiny in the 1980s and 90s with evidence-based approaches that
actually indicated harm from those presumptive protocols. This fortunately
drove routine confirmation of emergency care interventions through
evidence–based medicine (EBM) practices founded upon rigorous scientific
methodologies.

DS-125: Osler Would Have Done an
Ultrasound Fellowship
Coronado A – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Describe common technical and cognitive errors made by both junior residents
and fellows in learning and teaching ultrasound, 2. Define the difficulties in
learning and teaching point of care ultrasound, 3. Describe effective tools to
help teach ultrasound at the bedside.
Description: New ultrasound fellows primarily may see fellowship as a
chance to improve their own image acquisition skills. Teaching point-of-care
ultrasound is one of the few remaining bastions of traditional bedside teaching
in medicine. Given the constraints of ED workflow, most new fellows may have
limited exposure to bedside teaching strategies, and specifically those related
to ultrasound. This session will highlight some of the common technical and
cognitive errors made by junior residents and new fellows, while learning and
teaching ultrasound so that the fellow can anticipate and correct for them. Also
covered will be the phases of new learners’ competency, as well as their growth
and pitfalls. Finally attendees will learn the expectations of both the learner
and the teacher and how they may work together.

DS-132: Addressing the Immediate Need for Emergency
Physicians in Low-Resource Settings: Lessons from a
Six-Month Curriculum in Rural Haiti
Coronado B – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1) Describe the state of EM training globally and its limitations, 2. Analyze the
rationale for a six-month EM training program with its strengths and areas for
refinement.
Description: This course examines the successes and lessons learned from a
recent six-month certificate program in EM in Haiti. In low-resource settings,
there are few EM training programs. Some countries have recently started
residency programs to build a specialty core of emergency physicians, but these
take years to graduate a sufficient number of trainees, leaving the immediate
needs for emergency care unmet. Alternatively, others use ‘short courses’,
often 1-2 weeks and taught by visiting EPs, which do not build the necessary
breadth of skills required. After describing this current context, this lecture will
describe a novel approach: a six-month EM certificate recently implemented
by Partners In Health in conjunction with the Haitian Ministry of Health.
Physicians from seven hospitals throughout Haiti participated in a curriculum
of both didactic education and clinical training. This session will discuss the
benefits and challenges of this program as a model to address the immediate
need for emergency care in low-income countries, including key elements to
its success and lessons learned. We will discuss its generalizability to other
low-resource settings, with the goal of fostering shared knowledge to further
strengthen emergency care globally.

Objectives: At the end of the session, the participants should be able to:
1. Identify and briefly describe the five types of validity evidence that can
be applied to ME assessment tools, 2. Develop a validity argument for an
assessment tool.
Description: The ACGME requires the use of valid instruments to assess
trainees as part of the Next Accreditation System (NAS). This session will focus
on nonstatistical methods that can be used to develop valid assessment tools.
We will review multiple sources of validity evidence and, through a series of
brief and entertaining case examples, demonstrate how content, response
process, internal structure, relationship to other variables, and consequential
validity can be utilized to effectively build validity evidence supporting tools
used for trainee assessment.

DS-98: Crowdfunding in Emergency Medicine:
Understanding the Role Funding Alternatives for the
Next Generation of Medical Research
Harbor Island Ballroom 2 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Interpret the mechanism of crowdfunding in healthcare research, 2. Identify
opportunities and strategies to utilize crowdfunding to jumpstart an earlystage scholarship program.
Description: With a recent trend of diminishing federal funding, early
stage investigators are struggling. Crowdfunding has emerged as a popular
alternative funding mechanism. It is derived from the broader concept of
crowdsourcing, the outsourcing of problem-solving tasks to a distributed
network of individuals. Crowdfunding makes it possible for those with
limited access to traditional funding sources to acquire the financial resources
necessary for pursuing their projects. Over the past five years, crowdfunding
has become more popular among scientific researchers. The session will cover
the motivation for crowdfunding, its platform in the internet era, and the
logistics of how it works.

Research: Trends and Future Directions
Point Loma Ballroom A – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of the session, participants should be able to:
1. Summarize the trends in high-quality global EM research over the past
decade, 2. Recognize evidence-based practices and the current standard of care
in global EM, 3. Conduct ethical and high-quality global EM research from the
experience of recent investigators.
Description: The Global Emergency Medicine Literature Review (GEMLR) was
developed in 2005 to help EM providers navigate the growing abundance of
Global EM literature. Each year, the GEMLR conducts a search of Global EM
literature, including up to 10,000 articles from published and grey literature.
Our team of 30 reviewers and editors then screen and score the articles using
established criteria to select those that are high quality and directly relevant to
global EM. The top articles represent a sample of the high-quality, international
EM research currently being conducted around the world. Over the past 10
years, global emergency medicine research has advanced. In this didactic, we
will discuss how the global EM literature has changed over the years. What
languages are articles published in? Where are they coming from? Are there
topics that dominated the field in certain years? What type of study is most
commonly undertaken in resource-limited settings? Based on this analysis, the
presenters will discuss possible future trends, and their impact on the field.

Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. State the structure and impact of current quality measurement programs on
emergency medicine, 2. Anticipate the future direction that quality measures
will take.
Description: Quality measures play an increasingly important role in the
organization, practice and payment of emergency care. The number and
impact of these measures on physician and hospital reimbursement have
increased. Emergency care researchers and administrators in charge of quality
measurement will be interested in the current state of measure and future
directions. Attendees will hear a summary of the national quality measurement
programs and future directions, focusing on hospital metrics that affect
emergency care as well as an overview of EM physician metrics and the
approach that EM organizations are taking to develop new metrics.

DS-126: Diagnosing and Treating the Difficult Learner:
A Three-Step Approach
Coronado A – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Identify common categories of difficult learners, 2. Describe internal and
external variables that contribute to the challenges of successfully educating
this subgroup, 3. Describe effective learner-centered interventions, 4.
Formulate a systematic approach to improve the performance and educational
experience of difficult learners.
Description: Educating smart and enthusiastic residents is often effortless
while difficult learners are frustrated and consume considerable resources.
Positive outcomes require: accurate and timely identification of barriers to
effective learning (e.g. knowledge and focus, integration, motivation, and/
or professionalism), assessment of contributing factors (learner, teacher,
environment/situational); and implementation of specific learner-centered
interventions. This 50-minute interactive session will provide an evidencebased framework to identify, assess, and implement strategies for the successful
education of difficult learners.

DIDACTIC PRESENTATIONS - FRIDAY, MAY 15
Objectives: At the completion of the session, participants should be able to:
1. Describe the economic and policy forces influencing the demand for price
transparency, 2. Describe the potential impact of high-deductible health plans
on acute care, 3. Specify examples of research on hospital price transparency,
4. Identify barriers to price disclosure and patient-centered approaches to
discussing cost.
Description: Enrollment in high-deductible health plans has surged in
recent years. As patients’ out-of-pocket health expenses increase, multiple
stakeholders including patient groups and public health advocates have urged
providers to make medical care prices more accessible. More than 20 states
have passed laws to improve transparency of hospital prices, and several large
health insurers have collaborated to develop websites that help patients access
this data. Pressure to disclose prices will increase as research demonstrates
significant variation in hospital prices. Providing patients with anticipated
costs may be feasible in the outpatient setting or prior to an elective procedure,
but this process faces many barriers to implementation in EDs. Furthermore,
emergency physicians may feel unprepared to incorporate patient requests for
cost data when developing clinical care plans. This session will educate course
participants on current U.S. trends in price transparency, examine potential
research areas within this topic, and engage attendees in a discussion of how,
and if, price transparency is positive or feasible in acute care.

DS-133: Physician, Academic…Entrepreneur?
Coronado B – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Identify common physician innovator archetypes and stakeholder perspectives,
2. Describe the ethical, personal, and financial risks and benefits of academic
entrepreneurship, 3. Identify risks of conflicts of interest/commitment, 4.
Articulate the university perspective and motivation for encouraging academic
entrepreneurs.
Description: A successful academic medical career is often defined by
contributions in clinical care and teaching, contributions to research, and
leadership. A confluence of forces including decreased public research budgets,
institutional forces, healthcare reform, and democratization of technology
development has fueled the emergence of a new type of physician – the Academic
Entrepreneur, who seeks to discover new knowledge and at the same time
commercially develop their scientific findings. Many institutions encourage
academic entrepreneurship, yet few have figured out how to value this type
of activity when it comes to promotion. At the same time, many physicians
have great ideas and deep domain knowledge but lack the technical, business,
or legal skills to take the first step down the path of commercialization. Those
who proceed down the path of commercialization face a variety of career,
ethical, personal, and financial risks. This session will explore the faculty and
institutional perspectives on academic entrepreneurship.

Description: The founders and early leaders of EM achieved remarkable success
over a relatively short time period and had different leadership styles and
approaches. This session will provide a detailed look at the lives and leadership
roles of the four EM founders: James Mills Jr, MD; John Wiegenstein, MD;
Gail Anderson, MD; and Ronald Krome, MD. The challenges and barriers each
leader faced in advancing emergency medicine will be described as well as their
leadership qualities, approaches, and strategies. The session also considers the
lessons gleaned from these leaders and how they can be applied to advancing
emergency medicine in the present day.

DS-92: Industry-Academic Partnerships: The Industry
Perspective
Harbor Island Ballroom 1 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Facilitate academic-industry partnerships based on industry perspectives, 2.
Identify key mistakes to avoid in such partnerships, 3. Identify strategies to
mitigate conflicts of interest, 4. Promote scholarly productivity through such
partnerships.
Description: Academic-Industry partnerships play a key role in any emergency
department’s scholarship portfolio. However, like any partnership, one key to
success is understanding the partner’s needs and perspective. In this session,
experts with a variety of industry experience will discuss their views on the
critical factors that impact academic-industry partnerships, and what academic
emergency physicians can do to ensure their success. Topics will include: the
perspective of a large pharmaceutical firm, the clinical research organization
perspective, and finally working with startup firms. Panelists will discuss
how to identify what may/may not be a productive partnership, how to find
an industry partner, and how intellectual property, contracts, and conflicts of
interest are handled in their relationships.

DS-99: Aging Physicians: Strategies to Promote Career
Longevity in EM
Harbor Island Ballroom 2 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. Discuss evidence-based strategies to promote career longevity in EM
2. Adjust duties of aging providers, including shift scheduling to optimize
performance and assignment to other clinical or administrative duties, 3.
Use environmental adaptations such as minimizing wasted work, scribes and
ergonomic workspaces.
Description: The “Silver Tsunami” of an aging population will impact patients
and the EM workforce. It is likely to further exacerbate the current EM
workforce shortages. Physiologic changes from aging can affect EM providers
in many ways, including difficulty with shift work because of decreased ability
to adjust to circadian rhythm changes; decreasing procedural competence or
physical stamina because of musculoskeletal disorders like arthritis; difficulty
with vision or hearing; and cognitive impairment from polypharmacy or
neurodegenerative changes. However, growing concerns over physician
workforce shortages make it important we find ways to support providers
as they age to promote career longevity. We will explore and discuss possible
56
approaches. Some solutions may come from workplace policies, such as reducing
overnight shifts or shift length, allowing part-time work or job sharing, and
replacing clinical work with other nonclinical departmental duties or with less
rigorous clinical jobs. Other solutions may come from changes to ED operations
and the ED environment itself; examples include process redesign to reduce
wasted work and wasted walking, the use of scribes to assist with technology,
and modifying the environment to use sound-proofing, ambient lighting, nonslip floors and ergonomic work spaces.
This session is sponsored by the Academy of Geriatric Emergency Medicine.

DS-100: Retirement: The Next Frontier
Harbor Island Ballroom 2 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Determine the options for employment/professional activities after retirement
from clinical practice, 2. Assess the variability of retirement packages offered
at academic institutions to ensure financial success, 3. Measure the emotional
consequences of retiring.
Description: The EM workforce is aging as baby boomers are at or nearing
retirement. Literature describes the emotional distress suffered by many after
retirement, including loss of identity and monetary stress. These factors may
be more pronounced in a group of physicians who chose to practice in an
unpredictable, high stress, fast paced environment. This didactic will discuss:
Findings from a recently completed survey of chairs and academic faculty
regarding the variation in retirement packages and their knowledge of these
benefits. Our results show that few individuals including chairs are aware of
the basics of the retirement packages; A panel of physicians who have recently
retired or have changed their practice to include more nonclinical activities
will present. The panel will discuss potential stressors such as identity loss and
how they dealt with them; And, discover data from ABEM regarding retirement
statistics and second careers.

Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Define the advantages/disadvantages of sedative, paralytic, and vasopressor
agents post-arrest, 2. Describe the current evidence for EEG monitoring during
temperature management, 3. Discuss the ethical issues surrounding organ
donation in the post-arrest period, 4. Discuss the availability and utilization
of ECMO, 5. Describe future research directions within cardiac resuscitation.
Description: Cardiac resuscitation research continues to surge, as researchers
strive to identify factors associated with “good” outcomes after cardiac arrest.
Yet many questions remain regarding the use for sedation and paralysis,
methods of seizure detection, when to consider the use of extra-corporal
membrane oxygenation (ECMO), hemodynamic optimization, and the ethics
of organ donation post-arrest. This session will discuss the most recent cuttingedge controversies in post-arrest care and suggest areas in need of attention for
the upcoming 2015 guidelines.

Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. Discuss unique challenges, resources and needs of LGBT adolescents,
2. Identify aspects of federal law that impact LGBT geriatric patient care
(extended care facilities, advanced directives, visitation, and decision making),
3. Explore and identify biases and barriers to effective communication that
adversely affect care delivered to LGBT patients vulnerable due to age or being
in an underrepresented minority, 4. Explain significant health disparities that
affect LGBT people of color.
Description: Original research presented the last two years at SAEM on behalf
of ADIEM demonstrated a need and desire by Program Directors and residents
for LGBT healthcare residency education. The LGBT subcommittee of ADIEM
has developed a module based curriculum for use in residency education
by EM residency programs. After a brief introduction and overview of the
curriculum components, an individual module will be explored that focuses
on LGBT sexual minorities who are additionally vulnerable due to age or being
of color. The group will divide into small discussion groups to consider casebased situations that will facilitate discussion of the dilemma, management,
and resources available to successfully navigate them. At the conclusion of the
session, a debrief will bring the groups back together to summarize challenges,
solutions, and future needs.

DS-134 : Feedback: The Bigger Picture
Coronado B – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Review the literature on the effectiveness of feedback, 2. Summarize the
complex interaction of deliverer, receiver and environment, 3. Identify effective
strategies to improve the learning environment.
Description: The purpose of feedback is to improve learner performance. It
is one of the most important elements of effective clinical learning, yet there
is data that suggests that feedback is not consistently perceived as useful or
effective. In fact, there are studies that show that feedback can be detrimental.
While efforts in the past have been primarily directed at teaching effective
feedback techniques to educators, less attention has been spent on learner
receptiveness. Credibility plays an important role in learner receptiveness to
feedback, and educators need to have a firm understanding of the components
of credibility. Even less attention has been focused on feedback through the
sociocultural lens. This session will explore all facets of feedback and panelists
will discuss strategies to deliver more effective feedback, increase learner
receptiveness, and help build a learning culture that promotes effective
feedback. Following the panel discussion, there will be small group discussions
facilitated by panelists to help clarify gaps in our current understanding of
feedback in the EM environment.

DIDACTIC PRESENTATIONS - FRIDAY, MAY 15
Objectives: At the end of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Recognize the promise and limitations of randomized controlled trials, natural
experiments, difference-in-difference models, and instrumental variables,
2. Identify natural experiments in the everyday emergency medical practice
environment and in state policy changes that would serve as the basis for highquality studies, 3. Evaluate and assess natural experiments when reading and
peer-reviewing the literature.
Description: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are often considered the
gold standard in medicine. However, conducting RCTs are not often infeasible
and unethical, particularly in health services research. RCTs often require
departmental buy-in or grant funding, which may be difficult without evidence
it is likely to succeed. Fortunately the raw building blocks for that evidence
are all around us, in the form of natural experiments. Analytical methods
exist to exploit “experiments” that occur due to chance or policy changes to
draw conclusions far more robust than typical observational studies. Natural
experiments can be conducted on a larger scale and with lower cost and
complexity than an RCT. Therefore it is an important tool for researchers in
health services research and biomedical science.

DS-93: ‘So There’s a New Sheriff in Town’:
What You Should Expect When a Leadership Change
Occurs in Your Department
DIDACTIC PRESENTATIONS - FRIDAY, MAY 15
Harbor Island Ballroom 1 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Identify institutional and departmental issues associated with a leadership
transition, 2. Assess changes that are occurring within the context of expected
leadership change, 3. Develop a personal strategy for coping with the leadership
transition.
Description: A department leadership change can be exciting, but also can
be associated with uncertainty and a period of destabilization. Faculty and
residents may experience emotions ranging from optimism to disappointment
depending on the new leader’s vision and expectations. This panel discussion
will explore a variety of issues that faculty and residents experience before,
during and after a leadership transition. Such issues include hiring of new
faculty, loss of current faculty, change in roles, change in performance
expectations, and overall cultural change or shift in mission focus. Some
of these issues are generic to every leadership change and can be objectively
assessed so that faculty is prepared when it happens. Participants will gain a
deeper understanding of the leadership transition process to develop personal
strategies for coping with transition and for assessing their own faculty
development within a new system.

Harbor Island Ballroom 2 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this course, participants should be able to:
1. Describe the advantages of virtual environments for healthcare education,
2. List items to consider in choosing a virtual platform, 3. Learn methods to
successfully collaborate with virtual environment creators.
Description: Virtual environment simulations have grown rapidly and their
educational potential is unlocking. Virtual environment advantages include
overcoming distance, team separation, environmental factors, and specific
learner needs. This session explores the cutting edge of virtual environments,
avatars, and interface design as well as gathering metrics on participants.
Attendees will: discuss virtual patients that allow the learner to administer
drugs, examine the physiological reactions, and see the patient through the
multiple stages of care. Other topics will: include virtual simulation use to
conduct trade-off analysis, learn background concepts, and train for a higher
level of performance. Faculty with engineering background will discuss design
challenges and solutions and give advice for those hoping to apply virtual
worlds to education.

DS-108: Throwing the Gauntlet: Best Practices for
Supporting Women in Emergency Medicine
Harbor Island Ballroom 3 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Define the gender disparities affecting physicians in medicine and EM, 2.
Create best practices guidelines within the field, 3. Recognize opportunities
for changes in organizational policies that can improve the careers of women,
4. Describe examples of successful implementation of supportive practices,
5.Identify major goals for addressing gender disparities over the next decade.
Description: Disparities in salary, promotion, and retention of women in
academic medicine are well-described and have persisted over the past 20 years.
In 2013, a National Taskforce of Women in Emergency Medicine collaborated
58
to create Best Practices guidelines for the hiring, recruitment, and retention
of women in EM. This session begins with a brief background on the rationale
and development of the Best Practices guidelines. A panel will then tackle
some of the challenges and potential solutions associated with adoption of
the Taskforce’s recommendations. Topics to be covered include the evidence
behind the guidelines, national examples of success, means of measuring
their implementation, and future steps to disseminate and encourage their
acceptance by healthcare organizations.

DS-115: Is Patient Satisfaction the Same as PatientCentered Care: A Debate
Point Loma Ballroom A – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Engage in moral reasoning regarding a physician’s duty satisfy the patient’s
wishes, 2. Describe empirical data about how patient satisfaction relates to
quality medical care. 3. Enumerate the barriers or potentials for improved
evaluation of physician performance that accept some dys-synergy between
patient satisfaction and patient-centered EM care.
Description: While patient satisfaction metrics can be a driver for ED care
patterns, there is some tension regarding goals of care when patients may not
be “satisfied” with clinical delivery but the healthcare received was beneficial.
We propose to use an ethical framework to examine the best balance between
the patient’s autonomous right to receive care that they desire and the
physician’s obligation to benefit the patient, even if it is not what the patient
might consider is “right” for them.

DS-128: Putting an End to ‘Brutane’: Updating the
Research Agenda in Pediatric Analgesia, Anxiolysis and
Sedation
Coronado A – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able
to: 1. Determine the current landscape of pediatric sedation best practices, 2.
Develop familiarity with newer agents for deep sedation, 3. Contribute to the
dialogue for a new pediatric centered research agenda for pain management,
anxiolysis and sedation.
Description: Pediatric EM has made numerous contributions in the areas
of procedural sedation, anxiolysis and pain management. The administration
and management of deep sedation and anxiolytic medication is a core skill for
all emergency physicians. The updated ACEP Clinical Policy on Sedation and
Analgesia in the Emergency Department (ED) published in February 2014
sought to answer many questions with current literature. The policy addresses
a number of areas pertinent specifically to Pediatric EM including the use of
End Tidal CO2 monitoring, NPO status, and the use of newer agents including
Ketofol, Dexmedetomidine and Alfentanil. This course, via a panel of sedation
experts, will discuss: the current state of pediatric sedation best practices across
a spectrum of ED environments; evaluate the potential of newer agents such
as Dexmedetomidine, Ketofol and Alfentanil for use in contemporary practice;
and how to develop a pediatric patient centered research agenda with outcome
data aimed at creating greater availability of analgesic/anxiolytic options for a
wide variety of cases, from simple IV starts to procedural deep sedations.

DS-95: Conducting EM Research using Social Media
Tools: Applications for Disease Surveillance and
Community Engagement
DS-87: The Great Chest Pain Debate
Harbor Island Ballroom 1 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Grande Ballroom C – Marina Tower Lobby Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Describe benefits of querying social media conversations, over traditional public
health survey methods. 2. Appreciate the rationale for digital health tools for
community engagement and how this can improve adherence, readiness and
public health. 3. Anticipate technical and ethical hurdles to conducting digital
health and social media trials, 4. Create statistical approaches to designing and
interpreting data.
Description: The explosion in social media participation and mobile device
usage presents opportunities for improving care and accessing patients, where
they are. This session’s panelists are EM faculty with research initiatives that
make use of social media and mHealth tools for improving EM recognition of
disease and extending the reach of emergency care. The panelists will explain
the advantages of these new local and individualized methods over traditional
means for surveillance and outreach, as well as the technical, ethical and
analytic considerations in conducting this research. You will learn: How social
media research tools can aid ED recognition of local presentations of disease;
how analyzing social media provides insight into understanding our patients’
behavioral risks and health attitudes; and the necessary steps for ethical
conduct of researching patients’ digital discussions, and the challenges of
properly interpreting “big data” generated by these research tools.

Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Identify new approaches to patients with chest pain, 2. Discuss the pros and
cons of these emerging diagnostic and management approaches to chest pain.
Description: A middle-aged man with few coronary artery disease risk factors
presents to your ED with vague chest pain lasting minutes to hours. How do
you approach this patient? Chest pain remains a vexing problem for emergency
department clinicians. The symptoms of one of the primary life-threats, Acute
Coronary Syndrome (ACS), are nonspecific, requiring admissions for workups
that are frequently ultimately negative. These admissions add to the burden
of hospital crowding and healthcare system costs. It has been acknowledged
for decades that new paradigms are needed. However, prior research has not
been able to identify a population of chest pain patients who might be safe
for discharge from the ED. In this session, you will learn about ACS research
emerging approaches to chest pain that would obviate the need for inpatient
hospital admission.

DS-94: Current Controversies and the
Future of Telestroke
Harbor Island Ballroom 1 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
DS-102: Hot Topics in Trauma Resuscitation
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Discuss the current state of the evidence for the use of telestroke technology,
the potential benefits versus harms and how to evaluate the value of telestroke
programs, 2. Identify future directions in telestroke and telemedicine and
expanding roles for it.
Description: Telestroke has impacted the delivery of acute stroke care, bringing
stroke expertise to otherwise unsupported EDs. Yet for small hospitals, the
cost-benefit balance is a question. Expanding telestroke networks may be at
the range of clinical applications bringing expertise to frontline EDs; we will
consider how an expanded infrastructure may be leveraged for clinical research,
professional development, and resident education. The panel will shed light
on the current evidence gaps and prompt discussion of the future directions
of inquiry in telestroke research. The following topics will be discussed: the
literature regarding the safety and benefits of telestroke; the comparison of
telestroke with alternate options, including telephone consultations and better
empowerment of community emergency physicians to treat on their own;
the expense of the technology and potential for critical delays in treatment
Harbor Island Ballroom 2 – Marina Tower Lobby Level
DIDACTIC PRESENTATIONS - FRIDAY, MAY 15
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Describe the makeup of a strike team suitable for acute-research response in
any disaster or large-scale emergency, 2. Identify the educational competencies
required to ensure a disaster Research Strike Team member can safely deploy to
the field and effectively perform research in a challenging emergency setting,
3. Develop techniques to ensure methodological rigor in disaster settings and
disseminate results in a timely fashion.
Description: Disasters can cause great emergency medical and public health
burdens. Although every disaster event can have unique impacts, commonalities
in disaster response make EM researchers ideally suited and qualified to be
effective disaster researchers. This creates a need for specialized research strike
teams that can quickly and safely deploy to the field to collect timely data. The
data can then be immediately analyzed to impact practice and adjust or improve
current and future responses. This session will focus on the three phases of
disaster research: Team formation and composition, education and training
for safety and efficacy, rapid IRB/human subjects review; Safe and appropriate
deployment, methodologies for data collection in challenging environments;
Rapid dissemination of results, real world experiences, after action reports for
improved future responses.

resuscitation, 2. Illustrate the current evidence for product replacement in
massive transfusion and resuscitation, 3. Describe methods of coagulation and
platelet evaluation, including TEG, 4. Describe resources available for managing
common target specific oral anticoagulants in the trauma patient
Description: Resuscitation after trauma requires an appreciation for unique
challenges, such as salvaging limb and/or life, while optimizing perfusion
during damage control. Fluid and blood product replacement ratios remain
controversial. Common medications also necessitate understanding the
resources available for reversal of antiplatelet and anticoagulants. This session
will discuss the most recent cutting edge hot topics in trauma resuscitation and

Description: An expert panel will present background, results and
recommendations from this national quality initiative. Attendees will learn:
the implementation and results of the National Pediatric Readiness Project
(NPRP). Previous scholarly work on this subject will be present and how the
NPRP has added significant data to what we know about the state of readiness
of our nation’s EDs to care for children; the results of the California Pediatric
Readiness Project and the impact that verification programs have on pediatric
readiness. Additionally the focus will cover how to improve pediatric readiness
based on experiences in one of the most populous states in the U.S.; the
implementation of the NPRP in the state of Nebraska and discuss some of the
subsequent challenges of implementing changes to improve pediatric readiness
in a rural state.

DS-116: Shared Decision Making: Improving Value and
Patient-Centeredness in Emergency Care
Point Loma Ballroom A – Bay Tower Upper Leve
Objectives: At the completion of the session, participants should be able to:
1. Describe the philosophy of shared decision making and describe its impact
on patient care as described by current research, 2. Develop and apply patient
decision aids, 3. Give examples of how shared decision making has been
applied in emergency care to date, 4. Describe research opportunities for young
investigators in shared decision making.
Description: In the process of shared decision making (SDM), physicians
engage patients to create a treatment plan by jointly reviewing the patient’s
condition, evidence supporting the available treatment options, risks and
benefits of treatment, and the patients’ underlying values and preferences.
Evidence suggests this approach to care can improve patient satisfaction,
produce decisions that are more consistent with patient preferences, and
decrease both healthcare spending and utilization of services. While SDM is
often used in other medical fields such as oncology or orthopedic surgery, there
has been relatively little use of such programs in acute care settings. This course
will provide attendees with an overview of shared decision making, describe
the applications of this approach within emergency medicine, and identify how
SDM can improve the patient-centeredness and value of the care we provide.

Operations: Balancing Design, Flow and Education
Point Loma Ballroom B – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Consider redesign of their own ED keeping in mind the educational mission,
2.Improve door-to-doc time, left without being seen, and patient satisfaction
scores while ensuring the on-going education of residents, 3. Create new
educational goals keeping in mind the changing landscape of emergency care.
60
Description: While pressures mount on EDs across the country because
of rising volumes, aging populations, and rising acuities, the onset of the
Affordable Care Act will only magnify these pressures. Organizations are
focusing on how best to position their EDs in this changing environment
including operational and physical design within limited capital resources. At
the same time educators must balance the education of residents with service
and patient care needs. Medical directors are leading in-house design teams and
communicating their future needs to outside architects. This course will describe
a model that balances the best practices for academic EDs design and flow with
resident education. The presenters will explain the importance of physician and
physician education leadership during an ED redesign project and integrating
education into the design and workflow of the ED. Items covered will include
getting the right people “to the table”; redesign of flow as part of the physical
design project; balancing education of residents and students when making
design and operational changes and basing decisions on a solid foundation of
operational and patient data; and planning for future state.

DS-129 Screening for Indolent Infections in the ED, HIV,
HCV, and Beyond: State of the Art or a Fool’s Errand
Coronado A – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1.
Identify the evidence for routine screening for HIV and HCV in the ED setting,
2.Implement novel testing strategies to minimize the impact of routine
testing on standard ED care, 3.Discuss the broader role (and controversies)
surrounding ED’s role in screening and early detection of a range of emerging
infectious disease outbreaks.
Description: The routine screening framework for communicable infectious
diseases in episodic care settings remains controversial. The most well studied
infections for which routine ED-based screening has been advanced is HIV.
Although interest lies in promoting ED screening for other transmissible
infectious diseases (i.e. STDs, tuberculosis, Hepatitis C virus [HCV], and
emerging respiratory, and other transmissible infections). While models and
best practice approaches for when, whom and how to implement screening
remain in flux speakers will use HIV and HCV screening as prototypes to
describe the conceptual framework for ED-based infectious disease screening.

DS-136: The Wilderness Road: A Path for Development
and Advancement of Your Academic Emergency
Medicine Career Through Limited Resource Medicine
Coronado B – Bay Tower Upper Level
Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Describe many of the opportunities for the combination of your outdoor
interests and your academic EM practice, 2. Identify essential steps to develop
a strong base or complement evolving academic EM practice, 3. Produce the
tools to create a road map for the development of an academic career.
Description: Wilderness (limited resource) medicine can allow you to combine
some of your passions with your profession. It is a very exciting and popular
area of interest with medical students and residents. This interest can be
further explored and developed by community and academic EM physicians
and allow someone to develop a successful emergency medicine career. We will
give you the tools to plan and start your journey from where you are to where
you want to go. We will discuss the critical actions that you can take at any stage
of your career that will allow you optimize exposure, mentorship, scholarship
and expertise in wilderness medicine.
