Filter by:This project proposes administer and evaluate via a randomized controlled trail a text message-based appointment reminder system to promote attendance at clinic appointments after ED discharge.
The proposed study aims to test the impact of microEEG on clinical management (diagnosis and treatment) of emergency department patients with Altered Mental Status (AMS). The study will utilize a portable, wireless, FDA-approved device (microEEG) as the intervention. Patients will be randomized to routine care plus microEEG (experimental arm) or routine care alone (control arm). The investigators hypothesize that incorporating microEEG in the work up of patients with AMS will impact the clinical management of these patients.
Our research will examine a chest pain care strategy, called the HEART pathway, which is designed to correctly identify Emergency Department patients at high-risk for cardiovascular events, likely to benefit from further testing, and patients at very-low-risk for cardiovascular events, who may be safely discharged home. By using an individual's risk assessment to determining testing, we hope to improve the quality and efficiency of the care delivered to Emergency Department patients with chest pain. Our study will determine if the HEART pathway, which combines a clinical decision rule, the HEART score, and two serial troponin measurements, will reduce stress testing and cardiovascular imaging, decrease hospital length of stay, and reduce cost compared to usual care, while maintaining safety.
The B-RIPPED scan is a standardized ultrasound evaluation of pulmonary B-lines, Right ventricle size and strain, Inferior Vena Cava collapsibility, Pleural and Pericardial Effusion, Pneumothorax, Ejection Fraction, and lower extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis. Primary outcomes measured are the magnitude of change in differential diagnoses.
The purpose of this quality improvement research project is to briefly survey attitudes among healthcare providers toward patients with substance use disorders before and after substance abuse counselors are placed in the Emergency Room.
The objectives of this study are to: develop an emergency care visit registry for pediatric patients for Quality Improvement purposes and to support future research; to use the emergency care visit registry to collect stakeholder-prioritized emergency care performance improvement measures for important pediatric medical and trauma conditions; and report emergency care performance improvement measures.
Morphine is the gold standard for treatment of severe acute pain but it has a number of adverse effects. No study has so far managed to identify the morphine-induced adverse drug reactions. The primary objective of this study is to determine predictive factors of morphine-induced adverse drug reaction when it is used in emergency departments.
The aim of the study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of the operation of a prehospital teleconsultation system in the Emergency Medical Service.
The aim of the study is to investigate the quality of prehospital emergency care in acute respiratory emergencies, when paramedics are supported telemedically by an EMS physician.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of telemedically supported and delegated pain therapy in the Emergency Medical Service (EMS).
