AZEMCast is THE competitive emergency medicine podcast. The host, Dr. Aaron Leetch, moderates a panel of emergency physicians who will go head to head navigating a clinical case from the Ring Down to the Work Up to the Dispo. Panelists are awarded points for their approach to the case and their clinical application of evidence-based medicine. However, points are deducted for weak arguments or reliance on experience-based medicine. The panelist with the most point at the end of the case will win the opportunity to soapbox about whatever aspect of EM they are most passionate about. We hope this podcast will model the knowledge, skills and approach that will help you take the best care of your patients. Posts ≠ medical advice http://uanow.org/participate

September 2017 - Health Care Policy
Saturday Sep 30, 2017
Saturday Sep 30, 2017
Happy September everyone!
Here in Tucson, the air is thick with pumpkin spiced lattes, influenza and tension over health care policy decisions. Jarrod had the bright idea to discuss healthcare policy which I fought tooth and nail . . . until I realized that I was being an ignorant coward and avoiding an incredibly important topic that affects us all.
Couple of ground rules:
1) Our aim is to DEFINE 10 healthcare policy terms that we felt were important for all EM docs to know
2) We did our best to remain impartial and leave our personal opinons out of this.
3) We failed horribly at goal #2. While there is some evidence that we cite and some Turkey's flocking about, there is a TON of opinion, presumption and guessing throughout the episode.
Fortunately we have TWO peer reviewers with opposite opinions about health care policy and whether or not our podcast is any good. They will be on next month because they had so much to offer that we split it into its own episode. They did both agree that this is an important topic that most providers get very little training on so I hope we can at least start a converstaion which they can steer in the right direction next month.
Listen, but take each word with a pound of salt and look into these terms and how they affect you and your patients.
