Em Pulse

In our last episode, we discussed several factors that lead to emergency department crowding, as well as the consequences for patients and providers, as presented in a recent commentary in NEJM Catalyst. We continue the conversation with one of the authors of the article, Dr. Deb Diercks, focusing on potential solutions.  Is your ED overcrowded? How is your hospital handling it? Connect with us on social media, @empulsepodcast, on email empulsepodcast@gmail.com, or through our website, ucdavisem.com. We’re working on an episode on what it’s like to be a woman in emergency medicine. We’d be honored if you’d share your story? Contact us as above, or leave your story on a brief voicemail at 951-251-4804  (don’t worry, we’ll edit it to make it sound smooth!).  ***Please rate us and leave us a review on iTunes!
