Introduction: Consultation in the emergency department (ED) is a common component of emergency health care. Consultation is defined as a case in which an ED physician (EP) requests the services of another physician (consultant) for an ED patient to assist, advise, and/or transfer care when the care required is beyond the expertise of the EP’s practice. While consultation is generally considered required and beneficial for patient care, consultation can also have a negative impact by incurring delays in patient flow and disposition. These delays contribute to ED crowding, patient dissatisfaction and, in some cases, worse health outcomes. Using an a priori protocol and accepted methodology, the aim of this systematic review was to update a previous review on the same topic and determine the proportion of 1) ED visits that involve consultation and 2) consultation cases that result in admission. PROPSPERO registration number: CRD42017054054. Methods: Literature search involved multiple electronic databases (e.g., MEDLINE and EMBASE) and grey literature (e.g., Google Scholar and conference abstracts). Study selection was conducted independently by two reviewers and determined by consensus among the two reviewers with disagreements resolved by a third party. Data extraction was conducted independently by two reviewers and determined by consensus among the two reviewers with disagreements resolved by a third party. A descriptive analysis was conducted. Outcome measure data were aggregated and reported with suitable descriptive statistics such as raw or weighted mean, median, or proportion with 95% confidence interval. Results: Literature search yielded 1,584 studies, of which 65 were included. Two-thirds of studies were conducted in USA or Canada. Of the 65, 54 were focused on a particular patient group or consulting specialty (e.g., psychiatry) while 11 considered the general ED population. Of these 11, the median proportion of ED visits involving consultation was 26%. The median proportion of cases with consultation that resulted in admission was 60%. Conclusion: Consultations in the ED are quite common and many of these cases result in admission. Given their frequency of occurrence and increasing ED crowding, efforts to reduce consult delays and expedite disposition appear warranted.

ObjectiveTo review all studies having examined the association between patients with physical injuries and frequent emergency department (ED) attendance or return visits.DesignSystematic review.Data sourceMedline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and PsycINFO databases were searched up to and including July 2019.Eligibility criteriaEnglish and French language publications reporting on frequent use of ED services (frequent attendance and return visits), evaluating injured patients and using regression analysis.Data extraction and synthesisTwo independent reviewers screened the search results, and assessed methodological quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool for prevalence studies. Results were collated and summarised using a narrative synthesis. A sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the repercussions of removing a study that did not meet the quality criteria.ResultsOf the 2184 studies yielded by this search, 1957 remained after the removal of duplicates. Seventy-eight studies underwent full-text screening leaving nine that met the eligibility criteria and were included in this study: five retrospective cohort studies; two prospective cohort studies; one cross-sectional study; and one case-control study. Different types of injuries were represented, including fractures, trauma and physical injuries related to falls, domestic violence or accidents. Sample sizes ranged from 200 to 1 259 809. Six studies included a geriatric population while three addressed a younger population. Of the four studies evaluating the relationship between injuries and frequent ED use, three reported an association. Additionally, of the five studies in which the dependent variable was return ED visits, three articles identified a positive association with injuries.ConclusionsPhysical injuries appear to be associated with frequent use of ED services (frequent ED attendance as well as return ED visits). Further research into factors including relevant youth-related covariates such as substance abuse and different types of traumas should be undertaken to bridge the gap in understanding this association.

Abstract Background The growing demand for elderly care often exceeds the ability of emergency department (ED) services to provide quality of care within reasonable time. The purpose of this systematic review is to assess the effectiveness of interventions on reducing ED crowding by older patients, and to identify core characteristics shared by successful interventions. Methods Six major biomedical databases were searched for (quasi)experimental studies published between January 1990 and March 2017 and assessing the effect of interventions for older patients on ED crowding related outcomes. Two independent reviewers screened and selected studies, assessed risk of bias and extracted data into a standardized form. Data were synthesized around the study setting, design, quality, intervention content, type of outcome and observed effects. Results Of the 16 included studies, eight (50%) were randomized controlled trials (RCTs), two (13%) were non-RCTs and six (34%) were controlled before-after (CBA) studies. Thirteen studies (81%) evaluated effects on ED revisits and four studies (25%) evaluated effects on ED throughput time. Thirteen studies (81%) described multicomponent interventions. The rapid assessment and streaming of care for older adults based on time-efficiency goals by dedicated staff in a specific ED unit lead to a statistically significant decrease of ED length of stay (LOS). An ED-based consultant geriatrician showed significant time reduction between patient admission and geriatric review compared to an in-reaching geriatrician. Conclusion Inter-study heterogeneity and poor methodological quality hinder drawing firm conclusions on the intervention’s effectiveness in reducing ED crowding by older adults. More evidence-based research is needed using uniform and valid effect measures. Trial registration The protocol is registered with the PROSPERO International register of systematic reviews: ID = CRD42017075575).

Introduction: Patients with chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) and opioid-use disorders make up a category of patients who present a challenge to emergency department (ED) providers and healthcare administrators. Their conditions predispose them to frequent ED utilization. This problem has been compounded by a worsening opioid epidemic that has rendered clinicians apprehensive about how they approach pain care. A systematic review has not yet been performed to inform the management of CNCP patients in the ED. As such, the purpose of this project was to identify and describe the effectiveness of interventions to reduce ED visits for high-utilizers with CNCP. Methods: Included participants were high-utilizers presenting with CNCP. All study designs were eligible for inclusion if they examined an intervention aimed at reducing ED utilization. The outcomes of interest were the number of ED visits as well as the amount and type of opioids prescribed in the ED and after discharge. We searched Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, CENTRAL, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and the grey literature from inception to June 16, 2018. Two independent investigators assessed articles for inclusion following PRISMA guidelines. Risk of bias will be assessed using the Cochrane ROBINS-I and RoB 2 tools for non-randomized and randomized trials, respectively. Results: Following review, 14 of the 5,018 identified articles were included for analysis. These articles assessed a total of 1,670 patients from both urban and rural settings. Interventions included pain protocols or policies (n = 5), individualized care plans (n = 5), ED care coordination (n = 2), a chronic pain management pathway (n = 1), and a behavioural health intervention (n = 1). Intervention effects trended towards the reduction of both ED visits and opioid prescriptions. The meta-analysis is in progress. Conclusion: Preliminary results suggest that interventions aimed at high-utilizers with CNCP can reduce ED visits and ED opioid prescription. ED opioid-restriction policies that sought to disincentivize drug-related ED visits were most successful, especially when accompanied by an electronic medical record (EMR) alert to ensure consistent application of the policy by all clinicians and administrators involved in the care of these patients. This review was limited by inconsistencies in the definition of ‘high-utilizer’ and by the lack of high-powered randomized studies.

Introduction: Recent evidence shows an increase in alcohol-related emergency department (ED) visits among youth. Highly publicized collegiate rituals such as Homecoming may create a climate for problematic alcohol use. This study describes the frequency of youth alcohol-related ED visits per year and during pre-specified ritualized drinking dates in one academic centre. Methods: This was a chart review of patients aged 12-24 with alcohol-related ED presentations between Sept 2013-Aug 2017. The National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) database was searched for visits with ICD-10 codes related to alcohol. The Canadian Hospital Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP) database was also searched using the keyword alcohol. Duplicate visits were removed. Visits were excluded if patients had a history of psychosis, were held in the ED for involuntary psychiatric assessment, were homeless, were inmates from a correctional institute, if alcohol use was not mentioned and for complaints of sexual assault/domestic violence. Data abstraction by two reviewers used a standard form with variables predetermined. Differences were resolved with third party adjudication. Interrater reliability of the reviewers was assessed through duplicate review of 10% of randomly selected charts. A further 10% were assessed by a 3rd reviewer for extraction accuracy. Results: A total of 3,256 ED visits were identified with 777 meeting exclusion criteria. The remaining 2,479 visits were reviewed and subclassified into injury (51.8%), acute intoxication (45.1%) and mental health issue (3.2%). Interrater agreement was high for extracted variables with Kappa scores > 0.8. Despite a decrease in the region's youth population during the study period (28,325 to 25,125), overall standardized ED visits by youth increased by 12% (66,538 to 78,129). Adjusted for population, youth alcohol-related visits increased by 86.4% from 1,557 in 2013-14 to 2,902 in 2016-17. Co-ingestion of other substances was reported in 292 (11.8%) of visits, with cannabis the most common (57%). The 17 pre-specified ritualized days saw 578 (23.3%) of ED visits. Conclusion: Alcohol-related ED visits in youth are increasing in our region. Ritualized drinking dates appear to be particularly risky for youth with high rates of observed ED utilization. Strategies to manage high volume ritual days are being piloted, including temporary diversion to an in-hospital sobriety centre.

112 Background: Patients with advanced cancer are at high risk for emergency department (ED) and hospital utilization, which is distressing and costly. Palliative care consultation and symptom management clinics have been shown to decrease ED and hospital utilization, but the frequency and composition of these interventions is still being delineated. More evaluation is needed to determine practical approaches to implementing interdisciplinary management of distress for patients with advanced cancer in the community setting. This retrospective review evaluates healthcare utilization with respect to support services provided in our community based cancer institute. Methods: 157 patients with advanced cancer of lung, gastrointestinal, genitourinary or gynecologic origin diagnosed January 2015-December 2015 were reviewed retrospectively. Descriptive data including demographics, disease characteristics, palliative care consultation, support services utilized and ED visits/hospitalizations were collected for 12 months, or to date of death. Support services included physician assistant–led symptom management, nurse navigator, social worker, nutrition, financial counselor, chaplain, and oncology clinical counselor. Support service referrals were made based on identified needs. Severe disease was defined as death within 6 months of diagnosis. Results: Patients with severe disease had a mean of 6 ED visits per year, significantly greater than patients with non-severe disease (p < 0.001). Patients with severe disease also had more contacts with support services per year (30.3 vs 9.1, p < 0.001). A palliative care consult was placed in 50% of patients with severe disease, and 23% in patients with non-severe disease (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Patients with advanced cancer have evidence of significant needs as reflected by high healthcare utilization in the last 6 months of life. As needed involvement of support services correlated with severity of disease but did not result in decreased ED utilization or hospitalization. This suggests that availability of support services alone is not a feasible strategy to impact unplanned hospitalizations and ED visits.

Objective. To report the 15-year trend in ophthalmic presentations to the emergency department (ED) at the only medical center in Lebanon that provides 24-hour ophthalmologic care. Methods. Retrospective review of 1967 patients presenting to the ED with eye-related complaints between September 1997 and August 1998 and between September 2012 and August 2013. Diagnoses were classified into 4 categories according to the International Society of Ocular Trauma and include penetrating eye injuries, nonpenetrating eye trauma, nontraumatic ophthalmic emergencies, and nontraumatic, nonurgent ophthalmic conditions. Results. One thousand sixty eye-related presentations out of 39,158 total ED visits (2.71%) presented in 1997 compared to 907 out of 46,363 in 2012 (1.96%). Penetrating and nonpenetrating eye emergencies decreased between 1997 and 2012 (7.17% to 4.19%, p=0.003 and 52.64% to 29.00%, p<0.001, resp.) while nonurgent cases increased from 30.19% to 53.47% (p<0.001). 57% of patients were covered by third-party guarantors in 1997 versus 73% in 2012. Conclusion. Our results demonstrate a significant increase in nonurgent cases in parallel with the proportion of third-party payers, an issue to be addressed by public health policies and proper resource allocation. A detailed nationwide review is needed to make solid recommendations for the management of ophthalmologic presentations in the ED.

Introduction: Emergency department (ED) crowding, long waits for care, and paramedic offload delay are of increasing concern. Older adults living in long-term care (LTC) are more likely to utilize the ED and are vulnerable to adverse events. We sought to identify existing programs that seek to avoid ED visits from LTC facilities where allied health professionals are the primary providers of the intervention and, to evaluate their efficacy and safety. Methods: We completed this systematic review based on a protocol we published apriori and following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement. We systematically searched Medline, CINAHL and EMBASE with terms relating to long-term care, emergency services, hospitalization and allied health personnel. Two investigators independently selected studies and extracted data using a piloted standardized form and evaluated the risk of bias of included studies. We report a narrative synthesis grouped by intervention categories. Results: We reviewed 11,176 abstracts and included 22 studies. Most studies were observational and few assessed patient safety. We found five categories of interventions including: 1) use of advanced practice nursing; 2) a program called Interventions to Reduce Acute Care Transfers (INTERACT); 3) end-of-life care; 4) condition specific interventions; and 5) use of extended care paramedics. Of the 13 studies that reported ED visits, all (100%) reported a decrease, and of the 16/17 that reported hospitalization, 94.1% reported a decrease. Patient adverse events such as functional status and relapse were seldom reported (6/22) as were measures of emergency system function such as crowding/inability of paramedics to transfer care to the ED (1/22). Only 4/22 studies evaluated patient mortality and 3/4 found a non-statistically significant worsening. When measured, studies reported decreased hospital length of stay, more time spent with patients by allied health professionals and cost savings. Conclusion: We found five types of programs/interventions which all demonstrated a decrease in ED visits or hospitalization. Many identified programs focused on improved primary care for patients. Interventions addressing acute care issues such as those provided by community paramedics, patient preferences, and quality of life indicators all deserve more study.

Introduction: Patient experience with emergency department (ED) care is an expanding area of focus, and recent literature has demonstrated strong correlation between patient experience and meeting several ED and hospital goals. The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of existing literature to identify specific factors most commonly identified as influencing ED patient experience. Methods: A literature search was performed, and articles were included if published in peer-reviewed journals, primarily focused on ED patient experience, employed observational or interventional methodology, and were available in English. After a structured screening process, 107 publications were included for data extraction. Result: Of the 107 included publications, 51 were published before 2011, 57% were conducted by American investigators, and 12% were published in nursing journals. The most commonly identified themes included staff-patient communication, ED wait times, and staff empathy and compassion. Conclusion: The most commonly identified drivers of ED patient experience include communication, wait times, and staff empathy; however, existing literature is limited. Additional investigation is necessary to further characterize ED patient experience themes and identify interventions that effectively improve these domains.

Access To Primary Care

Background: Hypertension, defined as a systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic pressure ≥90 mmHg, is one of the most common chronic diseases (prevalence is 29.0% among adults) and is part of the Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (ACSC). In most cases, hypertension is considered a secondary diagnosis because complications that could result from the disease are the reasons why patients with hypertension are admitted to the hospital and Emergency Department (ED). Thereby, preventive approaches are integral in the management of these complications and access to primary care along with continuity are considered to be crucial components of preventive medicine. Hypothesis: We assess the hypothesis that increased access to primary care and continuity of care can reduce ED visits along with hospitalization rates in patients with hypertension. Methods: We reviewed articles from years 2005 to 2019 from peer reviewed journals. All publications were written in English and were mostly from the United States. However, we also included studies from other countries for comparison. We identified 2115 articles in total: 784 from Science Direct, 687 from Pubmed and 644 from Google Scholar, using these keywords: Hypertension, Hospitalization, Emergency Department, Primary care, Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions. Based on the titles, we investigated abstracts of 198 potentially relevant articles. Abstracts were rated independently by each member of the pair of reviewers and scored for relevance (relevant/ non-relevant). The second step was to have the full text of the remaining studies (n = 146) reviewed by the same team to check whether papers met inclusion criteria. Through this process, 96 studies were excluded. A total of 50 studies remained and were included in our systematic review. Results: From 50 research articles that were included; 38 studies showed statistically significant (p < 0.05) finding that increased access to primary care and its continuity decreases hospitalizations and/or ED admissions in patients with hypertension, 8 studies did not find statistically significant association between these factors. 4 studies showed statistically significant conclusion that general or family physicians as PCPs decrease hospitalization and ED admission rate in comparison with specialist physicians as PCP. Conclusion: We concluded that increased primary care access and its continuity are associated with a statistically significant decrease in the incidence of hospitalizations and/or ED visits for patients with hypertension.

Introduction: With an increasing proportion of patients in need of end-of-life (EOL) care presenting to the emergency department (ED), many of these patients may benefit from early palliative care (PC) referral. In fact, early PC referral is one of the Choosing Wisely ED recommendations in the USA. As such, there is a potential benefit to identifying patients with advanced or end-stage illness with PC needs. The objective of this systematic review is to identify and synthesize the available evidence regarding the existence and psychometric properties of screening tools to identify patients with advanced or end-stage illness and PC needs presenting to EDs. Methods: A comprehensive search of eight electronic databases and the grey literature was conducted. Studies assessing the ability of a screening instrument to identify ED patients with advanced or end-stage illness in need of PC were eligible for inclusion. Two independent reviewers completed study selection, quality assessment, and data extraction. Disagreements were resolved through third-party adjudication. Due to the significant heterogeneity, as well as inconsistent outcome reporting, a descriptive summary of the results was completed. Results: Once duplicates were removed, the title and abstracts of 3516 studies were screened, of which, 15 studies were included. Overall, 10 unique screening instruments were assessed across the studies. The most commonly assessed screening tool was the use of the modified surprise question (SQ), in which physicians were asked if they would be surprised if the patient died within a specified period of time. Only four of the included studies assessed the diagnostic or psychometric properties of the screening tools. One study reported that the modified SQ predicted PC consultation with 35% sensitivity, 89% specificity, and a negative predictive value of 97%. The proportion of patients identified with PC needs ranged from 12% to 73%, with studies utilizing the SQ reporting a range of 12% to 33%. Conclusion: A variety of screening tools are available to identify ED patients with advanced or end-stage illness who would benefit from a referral for PC. While the modified SQ was the most common instrument assessed and appears to be simple to implement, it is unclear if the diagnostic and psychometric properties of this tool are sufficiently robust to warrant widespread implementation.
