Do you want to you be cared for by an NP (<1K hrs training) or an ED doc(10-16K hrs)?

A 3-year study documents worse outcomes & higher costs with NPs. Accdg to the paper, in 44 VA EDs, "we find that, on avg, NPs use more resources but achieve worse patient outcomes relative to MDs."

In fact, NPs, caring for pts w/o MD supervision, raised⬆️30-day preventable hospitalizations by 20%‼️vs ED docs. Hospital administrators pls take note!

In case anyone wanted to know where ACEP, the most prominent Emergency Medicine physicians organization in the US, stands on FL SB 1850 (the law allowing people to refuse care to others), I have no idea because I can’t find a goddamn peep out of them on it. They have historically opposed these kinds of laws, but the silence here is deafening. If anyone can find a public response from ACEP, I’m all ears…

I’m forever interested in our ingenuity as #emergencymedicine docs. I know everyone’s departments have gone to crap lately due to the increased volume of patients and decreased volume of staff (not just #nursingshortage ). Anyone in a department that’s done something successful in mitigating the resultant stagnation? Wonder if #ACEP is working on throughput guidelines?
Not #burnout …yet!

Oh yeah, almost forgot- my dog ate my respirator. (I can feel my 3rd grade teacher’s 🙄…but it’s true!!)
