ACEP Frontline

In this week's episode, Dr. Blake Briggs joins us to discuss ectopic pregnancy in the ED. This is a high risk diagnosis and one that is not rare in EM.

Boarding has been a growing issue for years in emergency medicine and has been exacerbated by the COVID pandemic with its impact on volumes, staffing, and throughput. In this episode of The Frontline, we are joined by Dr. Ciara Barclay-Buchanan who discusses some of the approaches they have utilized to combat this growing challenge.

September is National Sickle Cell Awareness Month, designated by Congress to help focus attention on the need for research and treatment of sickle cell disease.

Since its inception in 2017, the Medicare Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) program has included a plan to impose future harsh monetary penalties on many clinicians. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these penalties were delayed in 2020 & 2021 performance years. However, in the 2022 performance year, the MIPS program will likely resume with full implementation.

The CEDR team can help your ED navigate to the best possible outcome, avoiding penalties, and potentially securing a financial bonus with a successful submission. Based on 2019 MIPS scoring, 100 percent of our CEDR participants received a financial bonus.

CEDR is your long-term partner focused on the success of the EM community. Let CEDR help you navigate your journey through these uncharted waters into 2022 and beyond.

Highlights of using CEDR

Value of CEDR to individual emergency physicians and how it helped them score well in 2020 include:

- Putting $1,000 to $2,000 in the pocket of each of 10,000+ EM clinicians that participated in 2020 MIPS score reporting via CEDR

- Helped protect their Professional Credit Score a.k.a. MIPS score which is tied to their individual NPI

- Enhanced their professional rating at www.physiciancompare.com and www.hospitalcompare.com and www.carecompare.com

- Enabled safe and high-quality care in 1,000+ EDs across the nation
