Fantastic article. Another essential solution to decrease ED LOS & avoid admissions: interdisciplinary assessment for the ED’s largest user group: older people. IDTs identify root cause of ED visit and ensure access to community resources and home care improves outcomes.
I am SO excited to introduce a new web resource for anyone impacted by Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Please meet ❤️ Heartsight ❤️
This resource has been 100% created by PWLE and we hope it will be a very helpful resource for the cardiac arrest community. https://t.co/G9pSCHKYOW 😍

You can't improve what you don't measure.
Very excited to launch our CPR quality metrics project @UnityHealthTO tracking our CPR performance led by @garrick_mok & supported by @MedicalZoll
We're now using this data to guide our post-arrest debriefings.
Data trumps guessing.
Excited to introduce our new Paramedicine Collaborative! Canada’s first academic hub for research, innovation, scholarship and graduate education in #paramedicine, led by @WalterTava, @IanR_Drennan & @MeganLandes in partnership w @UTSCDHS

I'm honoured to be spotlighted (spotlit?) by the GEDC describing my rather odd route to focussing on BOTH EM and Older Person care. @CAEP_Docs@SREMI_MSH@UofTFamilyMed
Emergency departments are in crisis now and for the foreseeable future...a BRILLIANT editorial written by my dear friend @CVarnerEmerg. Well done! Your @SREMI_MSH family is proud :) https://t.co/ig3djibNXP
In this month's issue of @CJEMonline, SREMI summer student & @uoftmedicine student @__jkaur puts a spotlight on maternal health in the ED.
Should EDs use a risk stratification tool to predict severe maternal morbidity in postpartum patients? Read her study to find out!
