Today on ACEP Frontline we’re talking interrogations. In a community hospital setting, it can be tough to get a pacemaker or ICD interrogated in a timely fashion after hours or on the weekends. Dr. Neuenschwander is doing some great research looking into the ED providers doing their own interrogations in a fraction of the time it would take to get a rep in. According to him, it’s all about improving patient care as well as the specialty of Emergency Medicine.

Today’s ACEP Frontline was recorded at the Emerald Coast Conference in Destin Florida earlier this spring.

Emergency medicine is under attack from insurance and other industries interested in boosting profits and undercutting the safety net of the US healthcare system. Without intervention, this could seriously threaten access for millions of Americans and destroy the emergency system that has been built over the past 50+ years. In this episode, we talk about the situation, facts, and where to go from here.
