ACEP is proud to lead the way on collaborative solutions necessary to address the nation’s boarding crisis, including the advocacy work that paved the way for this landmark AHRQ summit and newly published report.
The report captures many of emergency physicians’ biggest concerns and calls out ACEP-supported solutions to address boarding head-on, including enhancing measurement and standards, re-aligning hospital incentives, and increasing the support necessary to empower emergency physicians do their jobs and save lives.
“The boarding crisis is straining our emergency departments and putting lives at risk,” said Alison Haddock, MD, FACEP, president of ACEP. “The only way to solve this crisis is through collaborative action. We are making progress and we are very eager to see government and health care leaders work together with us to move policies and initiatives from discussion to implementation.”
