Book SynopsisThis book focuses on the operational and clinical strategies needed to improve care of Emergency Psychiatric patients. Boarding of psychiatric patients in ED's is recognized as a national crisis. The American College of Emergency Physicians identified strategies to decrease boarding of psychiatric patients as one of their top strategic goals.Currently, there are books on clinical care of psychiatric patients, but this is the first book that looks at both the clinical and operational aspects of caring for these patients in ED setting. This book discusses Lean methodology, the impact of long stay patients using queuing methodology, clinical guidelines and active treatment of psychiatric patients in the ED.Trade Review"All clinicians in Emergency Departments espouse to provide care for the whole person, yet those individuals with psychiatric and mental health conditions in EDs all too often find timely and competent care woefully lacking. Similar to the recent trends of integrating mental health services into primary care, this book provides expertise and practical guidance for ED physicians and nurses to increase competencies for diagnosing and treating common mental health conditions. This innovative model of care in EDs proactively and reliably addresses the majority of patients’ psychiatric and mental health needs, and reserves psychiatric consultation services and transfers to psychiatric treatment facilities for those patients who cannot be adequately treated by ED clinicians."Patricia Rutherford, RN, MSVice PresidentInstitute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)"The authors not only have a deep understanding of emergency psychiatry but also of operational improvement. The mix makes this book a needed reference for anyone focused on a patient centered approach for this vulnerable population."Kevin Nolan, Statistician, Improvement Advisor, and Senior FellowInstitute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)"The authors have organized and written a timely and necessary book on the care of the acute psychiatric patient in the Emergency Department. Over 2 million people a year seek care for behavioral health care problems in hospital EDs at a cost of over $4 billion. Behavioral health patients seeking care in the emergency department have the same hopes, needs, and fears as the rest of the patients who present to our EDs for evaluation and treatment. The ED is often an intense and stressful work environment where staff must perform rapid assessments and make swift treatment decisions.ED staff and team members, dedicated, focused, and highly trained, too often feel overwhelmed, burdened and at times even threatened by the need to provide care for behavioral health patients. There is a great deal of variation in ED expertise, training and resource allocation for emergency mental health problems, which can lead to sub-optimal care and negative patient and staff experiences. The management of acute behavioral emergencies and crisis intervention are simply and clearly described in this book. The tactics, tools and techniques outlined here can elevate our approach to emergency department psychiatry and allow our emergency medicine colleagues to rise above our current challenges and frustrations. Balan et al. apply approaches, lessons and insights from both evidence - based medicine and Lean service operations to behavioral health patients, defining best practices and demonstrating the benefits and positive impact on patient care, flow and safety. Big Book of Emergency Department Psychiatry is a practical playbook for the challenges at hand. The authors explain simply and clearly how to get it done."Kirk Jensen, MD, MBA, FACEPChief Innovation Officer, EmCare, Inc.Chief Medical Officer, BestPractices, Inc.Studer Faculty Member and National SpeakerInstitute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Faculty Member "The management of psychiatric patients seeking care in the emergency department is one of the most complex and important issues in modern emergency medicine. The patients are frequently disenfranchised and do not receive high quality or timely medical care. As a result, these patients impose a tremendous impact on ED resources and flow. This book provides comprehensive insights into psychiatric care in the ED and operational improvement using Lean Healthcare concepts. It will help you and your leadership team create a patient-centric culture where a community of scientists continuously improve value for psychiatric patients, hospital and society."Jody Crane, MD, MBAPrincipal, X32 HealthcareAuthor of "The Definitive Guide to Emergency Department Operational Improvement: Employing Lean Principles with Current ED Best Practices to Create the "No Wait" Department""Innovative, informative and inspiring book, with captivating stories that display the ins and outs of psychiatric emergency services.

A must read for any emergency department leader engaged in improving care for this vulnerable population."Seth Thomas, MD, FACEPDirector of Quality & PerformanceCEP America"Big Book of Emergency Department Psychiatry is empathically written and valuable to anyone that has ever experienced or cared for someone dealing with a psychiatric emergency. It has a dose of rigor, evidence and science and it conveys the personal experience of some of our peers and it keeps you wanting to read more. It is a tremendous compendium of the state of knowledge of the specialty and art of emergency psychiatry.

Book SynopsisMastering Emergency Medicine is a concise, revision-focused textbook that covers everything that candidates need to know in order to pass the College of Emergency Medicine's (CEM) membership examination (MCEM) to enter training, and to the pass fellowship examination (FCEM) to complete the Certificate of Specialist Training.With over 100 OSCE scenarios designed to stimulate everyday emergency department clinical encounters, Mastering Emergency Medicine covers all the key areas of the CEM syllabus, including: clinical examinations and practical skills, communication skills, teaching and management.This book takes a practical approach to the subject - core facts are presented and common scenarios are explored using an OSCE style, as used in the Part C MCEM and the FCEM examinations - which makes it an invaluable blueprint for management of cases.Closely linked to the current CEM syllabus, each chapter comprises three parts: Core topics that supplement revision for Part A and B. Clinical scenarios, including data and relevant practical skills that can be used to prepare for Parts B and C. Mock 'Scoring Scenarios' that give specific guidance on how to perform in OSCEs. Mastering Emergency Medicine is a highly detailed revision guide for the OSCE examinations and an essential study guide for all those who are preparing for the MCEM or FCEM examinations. It will also be useful to those who are wishing to pursue a career in Acute Medicine.Trade Review"…a good investment for a student or doctor regardless of their grade…"—Anthony Starr, Junior Practitioner, Cumbria, UK"This is a welcome first edition for trainees in Emergency Medicine. Never before has there been a concise, revision-focused text that aids preparation for the Emergency Medicine clinical exams, at both Membership and Fellowship standards.The layout of this book includes shaded boxes highlighting important learning points such as relevant scoring systems, complications and risk factors. The authors use useful mnemonics as a learning aid for those of us who prefer this style of learning. Where relevant, there are external references quoted such as NICE, Toxbase and the Resuscitation Council for further reading.In summary, no book is a substitute for clinical experience and the coverage of topics in this text is not exhaustive but reading this well-presented and up-to-date text, which has been written specifically for the MCEM and FCEM clinical examination is undoubtedly an excellent adjunct to seeing patients in the emergency department in preparation for the College exams."—Dr Andrew Dobbin, Ulster Med J; 79: 106-8Table of ContentsSurviving the CEM Examination.

Book SynopsisAn urgent picture of medical care in our cities, written by an emergency room physician (and co-author of the New York Times bestseller The Pact) who grew up in the very neighborhood he is now serving“A pull-no-punches look at health care from a seldom-heard sector . . . Living and Dying isn’t a sky-is-falling chronicle. It’s a real, gutsy view of a city hospital.”—Essence In this book, Dr. Sampson Davis looks at the healthcare crisis in the inner city from a rare perspective: as a doctor who works on the front line of emergency medical care in the community where he grew up, and as a member of that community who has faced the same challenges as the people he treats every day.
