Evaluating the performance of the HEART score in a Tanzanian emergency department
CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with chest pain in a Tanzanian ED, the HEART score did not perform as well as in high-income settings. Locally validated risk stratification tools are needed for ED patients with chest pain in low-income countries.PMID:38400615 | DOI:10.1111/acem.14872 (Source: Accident and Emergency Nursing)

"I don't want to be the squeaky wheel": Addressing bias as a leader in emergency medicine
CONCLUSIONS: This qualitative analysis of reflections from an arts-based workshop highlights perceived fears and barriers that may impact EM physicians' motivation and comfort in addressing bias. These results may help guide interventions to address individual and structural barriers to mitigating bias in the workplace.PMID:38390743 | DOI:10.1111/acem.14869 (Source: Accident and Emergency Nursing)

Implementation and analysis of a multifaceted intervention for alcohol use disorder from a single academic urban emergency department
CONCLUSIONS: An intervention to increase ED oral naltrexone prescriptions for AUD was successfully implemented, addressing lack of provider education, lack of prescribing resources, and patient barriers to accessing prescribed medications. Longer-term follow-up is needed to assess the efficacy and sustainability of these interventions. Nevertheless, ED clinicians are well positioned to initiate naltrexone prescriptions for patients presenting with AUD.PMID:38380769 | DOI:10.1111/acem.14860 (Source: Accident and Emergency Nursing)
