Video Summary
Matt Johnson, a surgical critical care fellow, discussed the implementation of a "resource intensivist team" at Washington Hospital Center to handle increased patient volumes and acuity in the emergency department (ED). This team, composed of dual-trained physicians in emergency medicine and critical care and a senior EM resident, is deployed during peak times to improve patient flow, bring critical care to the bedside, and enhance resident education. The initiative showed a nearly 25% downgrade rate of critically ill patients and improved antibiotic administration times, despite challenges of increased staffing and potential loss of learning opportunities for other physicians.
