Appendix A
Workshop Agenda

September 10-11, 2009


Institute of Medicine

Keck Center of the National Academies

500 Fifth Street, NW

Room 100

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. One of the central conclusions of those reports was that the nation should move toward a more regionalized system of emergency care. This workshop brings stakeholders and policymakers together to discuss how the federal government can promote “regionalized, coordinated, and accountable” emergency and trauma care systems, as envisioned in the 2006 reports. It also provides an opportunity to examine the progress that has been made in various parts of the country over the past several years.


Audience:


Participants will include policymakers 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, specialist physicians and surgeons, public health officers, and hospital and health system administrators.


Objectives:

  1. Foster information exchange between federal officials involved in advancing emergency care regionalization and key stakeholder groups from around the country.

  2. Learn from past experience and current efforts.

  3. Hold discussions with federal partners regarding policy options that could be the focus of future federal action.

During medical emergencies, hospital staff and emergency medical services (EMS) providers, can face barriers in delivering the fastest and best possible care. Overcrowded emergency rooms cannot care for patients as quickly as necessary, and some may divert ambulances and turn away new patients outright. In many states, ambulance staff lacks the means to determine which hospitals can provide the best care to a patient. Given this absence of knowledge, they bring patients to the closest hospital. In addition, because emergency service providers from different companies compete with each other for patients, and emergency care legislation varies from state to state, it is difficult to establish the necessary local, interstate, and national communication and collaboration to create a more efficient system.

In 2006, the IOM recommended that the federal government implement a regionalized emergency care system to improve cooperation and overcome these challenges. In a regionalized system, local hospitals and EMS providers would coordinate their efforts so that patients would be brought to hospitals based on the hospitals' capacity and expertise to best meet patients' needs. In September 2009, three years after making these recommendations, the IOM held a workshop sponsored by the federal Emergency Care Coordination Center to assess the nation's progress toward regionalizing emergency care. The workshop brought together policymakers and stakeholders, including nurses, EMS personnel, hospital administrators, and others involved in emergency care. Participants identified successes and shortcomings in previous regionalization efforts; examined the many factors involved in successfully implementing regionalization; and discussed future challenges to regionalizing emergency care. This document summarizes the workshop.
