Data show that EDs don’t meet the needs of Indigenous patients as well. We examines how emergency physicians could critically examine our own clinical processes to improve our ability to mitigate health care disparities in the ED. #SocialEM #healthequity youtu.be/Kk9PD4k9Y74?si…

This systematic review from Dr. Leeies identifies best practices, potential benefits and harms of enhanced sociodemographic variable collection as a routine part of ED visits with specific recommendations for EM health systems. #EM #AEM #SocialEM Read @ buff.ly/3DigwEF

These legal considerations should inform the enhanced collection of sociodemographics in EDs to promote #equity while protecting #patients. #AEM #EM #SocialEM Read @ buff.ly/3Ohi2fx

“An algorithm elevates the care of a novice but degrades the care of an expert.” Reuben Strayer @emupdates The importance of algorithms in #MedEd can therefore not be understated. It quickly increases safety in novices and infrequent providers. Experts can use judgement.

Most of the social emergency medicine presentations to the ED are likely connected to two main drivers: colonialism and inequity. Over the next 5 years, we are likely going to see climate disasters emerge as a major driver. #socialEM #cdnhealth

Social emergency medicine is about enhancing emergency medicine to become more structurally compassionate, such that we are not dependant on pitting the compassion of individual providers against systemic barriers on a case by case basis. #SocialEM #cdnhealth

Please tell me this is a joke. Let me rephrase… EDs that move people thru quicker and provide faster visits (regardless of quality) will get more funding. Oh good. This just represents a complete misunderstanding of ED care. I don’t even know where to start. 1/

We are seeing the impact of many people who arrived in Canada after escaping war on the African continent - in our emergency departments - the effects of being on the street with no access to safe shelter - all 3 levels of govt have played large role in creating these barriers.

🚨Our latest study, out now in @CJEMonline: #Unhoused patients at Toronto EDs are 14x to 18x more likely to have cold-related injuries (things like frostbite and hypothermia) than housed counterparts. #TOpoli #homelessness link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Some tips for new staff starting in July I learned during my first year as staff: 1. Learning doesn't stop at the end of residency. I learned more about EM and trauma in my first year than I would have imagined. Your pathways will continue to be refined as you learn from pts

There is a deadly crossover between heat, poverty, mental health, and gov't policy that favours the wealthy. Climate change kills those at the margins first. That reality is our collective responsibility. Cooling saves lives, and it's climate action.
