Program Description: 

The educational series is designed to teach and maintain skills for emergency medicine providers for low occurrence procedures which can occur in both high and low acuity situations. Physicians will also learn how teach and supervise trainees for procedures performed in the emergency department. The focus is for hands on training and repetition to help develop psychomotor skills. Didactics will be included to supplement hands on training. Examples of topics include airway management, infrequent emergent procedures, emergent scenarios such as imminent deliveries, diagnostic and procedural guided point-of-care ultrasound, and more.

Key Words: Emergency Medicine, Innovation, Patient Care

Target audience: 
  • Physicians
Learning objectives: 

Participants who engage in this educational intervention will be able to:

  • Describe the key features and operational differences among major alternative payment models (APMs), including Accountable Care Organizations, bundled payments, and value-based purchasing
  • Explain how APMs shift financial incentives from volume-based to value-based care and the implications of this transition for emergency and inpatient services
  • Discuss the impact of alternative payment models on care coordination, patient outcomes, and cost control across the continuum of care
  • Analyze how payment reform influences clinical decision-making, discharge planning, and collaboration between emergency, inpatient, and outpatient teams.
  • Identify strategies that emergency and hospital-based clinicians can use to align practice patterns with value-based reimbursement and organizational goals under APMs.
  • Evaluate potential risks and opportunities posed by global budgets, shared savings, and population-based payments for safety-net and high-acuity settings
