Interesting study on virtual walk-in visits in adults during the pandemic with some interesting findings to consider when evaluating pediatric virtual care. @dr_nr_saunders @dreyalcohen @AstridGuttmann

[Tara Kiran @tara_kiran]

Lots of recent discussion on changes to virtual billing codes in ON

It's a good time to share research led by @LapointeShaw

We found virtual walk-in patients were 2x AS LIKELY to visit ED within 30d compared to Ontarians having any virtual fam MD visit🧵

Between 2010 and 2019, 20% of children discharged from Ontario emergency departments with diagnoses of bronchiolitis, asthma, abdominal pain, and constipation received low-value radiographs: https://t.co/z5y2AKy1Ub

We now know that QI initiatives aimed at reducing unnecessary x-rays in children presenting to EDs should target and adapt their interventions to EM physicians practicing in EDs primarily treating adult patients.

[Gabrielle Freire @GabResearchMD]

I'm pleased to share this 🧵 summarizing our study in @CMAJOpen on practice variation around low-value x-ray use for common pediatric conditions in Ontario emergency departments (ED) 1/X @SickKidsNews @dreyalcohen @DrJFriedman @dr_nr_saunders

[Gabrielle Freire @GabResearchMD]

We found that x-ray use was ⬆️ in providers trained in adult settings. This could result from differences in training/experience, or cognitive biases caused by the fact that adults presenting to EDs are sicker and more likely to have abnormal x-ray findings than children. 7/X

Drs. Lavoie, Posner and Weiss facilitated the workshop:
"So Much To Teach, So Little Time!
Strategies to Maximize Effective Precepting in a Busy Emergency Department"
