Appendix A Workshop Agenda May 21–22, 2009 Embassy Suites 900 10th Street, NW Washington, DC 20001 Background: In 2006, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released a series of three reports on the Future of Emergency Care in the United States Health System. This workshop provides an opportunity to examine the progress that has been made since that time in moving the nation toward the IOM’s vision of a “regionalized, coordinated, and accountable” emergency care system. One of the central recommendations contained in the IOM reports encouraged the federal government to more effectively coordinate emergency care- related activities that are widely dispersed through various federal depart- ments and agencies. Now, three years later, structures are being put in place to address this challenge. This workshop is being convened to bring stake- holders and policy makers together to discuss which of the many challenges facing emergency care are most amenable to coordinated federal action. Audience: Participants will include policy makers from the various federal agencies involved in emergency care, state and local officials, and stakeholders from the health care provider community. Thought leaders from a wide range of relevant disciplines will be in attendance, including nursing, EMS, special- 83

Foster information exchange between federal officials involved in advancing emergency care and key stakeholder groups from around the country. 2. Identify policy areas that are of great and immediate concern for emer- gency care stakeholders and federal policy makers. 3. Hold discussions with federal partners regarding the policy and program- matic areas that should be the focus of coordinated federal action. dAY 1: THURSDAY, MAY 21, 2009 7:30 a.m.–8:30 a.m. Continental Breakfast and Workshop Registration 8:30 a.m.–8:45 a.m. Welcome and Workshop Overview Art Kellermann (Workshop Chair) Professor and Associate Dean for Health Policy Emory School of Medicine 8:45 a.m.–9:15 a.m. Keynote Address Jeff Runge President, Biologue, Inc.
