Can we "fix" ED crowding by redirecting minor cases? 🏥
A new @CJEMonline Just the Facts breaks down lessons from the EM:POWER report on why patient diversion fails and what actually works: 👇
The Myths vs. Reality:
❌ Myth: Low-acuity visits drive crowding.
✅ Fact: Ambulatory patients use few stretchers and do not delay high-acuity CTAS 2/3 care. Severe crowding is caused by access block and admitted patient boarding[.
Real System Solutions:
✅ Keep hospital occupancy at ~85% to preserve surge capacity.
✅ Hold specialty programs accountable for patients in their queues.
✅ Ensure 7-day-a-week hospital discharge and flow.
✅ Activate demand-driven overcapacity protocols system-wide.

Most Canadian medical students do not receive formal acute resuscitation simulation until late clerkship or residency.
A new @CJEMonline Educational Innovation highlights ResusWars, a student-led competition changing that narrative: 👇
The Innovation: Developed by U of T medical students and the Sunnybrook Centre for Prehospital Medicine, ResusWars provided 35 junior medical students (mostly 1st and 2nd year) with early, low-cost ACLS simulation training.
Key Results:
✅ Morning workshops: ACLS algorithms, airway, Stop the Bleed, IV and central lines, team CPR
✅ Afternoon: 5 competitive sim scenarios with resident debriefs
✅ 100% of participants reported higher resuscitation confidence and sim comfort post-event

“There’s a misunderstanding of what sepsis is and how dangerous it is.”
A pan-Canadian @CJEM study of 545 physicians, nurses & paramedics found:
🔹 88-93% of respondents supported sepsis guidelines, but awareness, trust in the evidence, and implementation varied by profession
🔹 Public awareness was a key barrier to early recognition
🔹 Practical point-of-care tools were favoured over education alone
