Restructuring the role of emergency departments in the healthcare systems: a vector to improving physician resilience.

Healthcare systems are continuously evolving to respond to new geodemographic demands, among other challenges. At the forefront of this exercise of malleability, Emergency Departments (EDs) are often put to test as the default access point, while the rest of the system takes time to adapt. Once highly adaptable, years of cumulative strain have stressed the limits of the current organization of Emergency Departments (ED) within the healthcare system worldwide.

Emergency medicine: a global perspective on its past, evolution, and future.

Emergency Medicine (EM) has continuously evolved since its origins on the battlefields of eighteenth-century Europe. Adapting to emerging challenges in healthcare, it has, in the past 70 years, developed to become a critical safety net for society. Despite its resilience and many accomplishments, EM still faces significant challenges, including workforce attrition, resource constraints, and the need for ongoing innovation.

Global emergency medicine: four part series on best practices : Paper 1: Introduction and overview of global emergency medicine.

The Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians' (CAEP) Global Emergency Medicine committee presents a four-part series that builds upon the Academic Symposium recommendations from the CAEP 2018 meeting (Collier et al. in CJEM 21(5):600-606, 2019). This series presents best practices and offers practical tools for the development and practice of Global EM.

CAEP 2018 Academic Symposium: Recommendations for developing and supporting Global Emergency Medicine in Canadian academic emergency departments and divisions.

Objectives: The objective of the CAEP Global Emergency Medicine (EM) panel was to identify successes, challenges, and barriers to engaging in global health in Canadian academic emergency departments, formulate recommendations for increasing engagement of faculty, and guide departments in developing a Global EM program.

Methods: A panel of academic Global EM practitioners and residents met regularly via teleconference in the year leading up to the CAEP 2018 Academic Symposium. Recommendations were drafted based on a literature review, three mixed methods surveys (CAEP general members, Canadian Global EM practitioners, and Canadian academic emergency department leaders), and panel members' experience.

Defining and Using Preoperative Predictors of Diabetic Remission Following Bariatric Surgery.

Background: Diabetes remission is defined as the return of glycemic control in the absence of medication or insulin use after bariatric surgery. We sought to identify and assess the clinical utility of a predictive model for remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a population seeking bariatric surgery.

Method: A retrospective cohort design was applied to presurgical data on patients referred for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG).
