  2010: The Tipping Point for Emergen...
  Hello, Im Randy Howell, Chief Administrative Officer for ECI. 2010 will be a watershed year for ECI and emergency medicine providers across the country. This year, more patients will present to ECI affiliated Emergency Departments with Medicaid coverage than with employer-sponsored or private health insurance. As usual, Emergency Medicine is on the front lines of emerging trends in healthcare. Emergency medicine providers stand willing to help everyone and anyone that is in need, even as politicians and the media seek to criticize the cost of care. Over the past three years, the financial class mix for all ECI-affiliated emergency departments has dramatically changed. The decreasing insured section includes patients with HMOs, PPOs, Auto Liability, Blue Shield, Workmens comp, and all other types of private insurance. Medicare is the federally funded program and Medicaid is the combined federal and state-funded partnership. The final section of the graph indicates the increasing number of self-pay patients. If these trends continue in a simple linear fashion, in 2010, Medicaid patients will be the largest financial class presenting in Emergency Departments. This reflects a broader movement from private to public health insurance. The US government estimates that in 2010, for the first time ever, more than 50% of those with health insurance will be publicly insured.

  Kas's Rant on Emergency Medicine.mo...
  This is the reason the RESUSCITATION CONFERENCE RESUS 2010 was established in Australia(July 10th and 11th). This is my rant during a Fellowship Course. It really is about what we need to know in emergency medicine. It's about knowing what our role is in Emergency Medicine. It's about knowing that we cannot know everything about every specialty, but there are some things such as RESUSCITATION that we have to be experts on. We as Emergency Physicians have to work with other specialties, in the best interests of the patient. We cannot know, or should not expect ourselves to know as much as other subspecialties. We are not cardiologists, or upper GI specialists. WE ARE RESUSCITATION experts, or should be. Remember, be proud of our specialty, because we make a difference. We are the only place that some of these patients can go. Be knowledgeable so you make a difference, because the knowledge you take into a shift does matter!

  Haiti struggles to clear quake debr...
  Seven months after Haiti's devastating earthquake only a fraction of the huge volume of rubble generated has been cleared, but the issue is certainly nothing new. In February, Haiti's president Rene Preval predicted it would take "a thousand trucks moving rubble for a thousand days" to clear all the debris out of the capital. Some 1.5 million people are still living in makeshift camps despite tens of millions of dollars in aid pouring into the island-nation. International aid agencies told Al Jazeera's Imtiaz Tyab in Port-au-Prince that the Haitian government is to blame for the lack of cleanup. (Aug 15, 2010)
