Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2017 Annual Report

Division Introduction

The Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) is one of the largest divisions within the Department of Pediatrics at UT Southwestern. Over the past 9 years, the division has grown from 9 PEM faculty to 23 and 5 general pediatricians. We continue to recruit additional faculty to meet increasing demand in the clinical service, research activities, and teaching. This past year we began planning for the new expansion at Dallas ED, which is expected to be completed Spring 2021. Our faculty have diverse clinical and research interests, including trauma, respiratory emergencies, neurologic emergencies, bedside ultrasound, and quality improvement.

The division’s faculty and PEM fellows provide clinical service at Children’s Health Emergency Departments at Children’s Medical Center Dallas and Children’s Medical Center Plano. Children’s Health emergency services remain one of the busiest emergency services in the country. Our 2017 patient volume for both campuses was 180,441 (Dallas, 130,672 and Plano, 49,769) with 44% non-urgent and low acuity patients evaluated in Fast Track. Our ED admission rate remains at 16.7% for Dallas and 8.1% for Plano, with nearly 40% of hospital admissions coming through the ED. Admission rate to the pediatric intensive care unit in Dallas is 2.2%, reflecting a relatively large number of acutely ill and injured children.

The Dallas Campus is a major pediatric referral center for Dallas County and the surrounding region, and is the only ACS Verified Level I pediatric trauma center in North Texas. One of the major responsibilities of the Pediatric Emergency Medicine faculty at a Level I pediatric trauma center is providing trauma stabilization and resuscitation for serious and critical injuries. Division faculty also provide medical oversight and physician coordination for the Children’s Health transport team and Dallas County EMS system (BioTel).

The Plano campus is a community hospital staffed with pediatric emergency medicine faculty, general pediatricians experienced in pediatric emergency medicine, and acute care advanced practice providers. In 2017, the Plano campus was designated a level 4 trauma center.

Education and Training

The Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine provides educational opportunities for medical students and residents, in addition to its fully accredited fellowship program. Our educational activities include didactic lectures covering core PEM curriculum, simulation labs for enhancing clinical and procedural skills, small group discussions, bedside teaching in the ED, and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).

The faculty educational activities also include educational seminars for other community physicians, advanced practice providers, EMS personnel, and other allied health professionals.

Medical Students

The Emergency Medicine faculty and fellows are very active in providing didactic education to UT Southwestern medical students, as well as physicians locally and nationally.

The Division offers a fourth-year clerkship for medical students, that provides in-depth exposure to Pediatric Emergency Medicine through recognition, evaluation, and management of the acutely ill and injured child.

Residents

Major internal educational activities include didactic lectures to the Pediatric residents, as well as Family Medicine and Emergency Medicine residents. Training in the emergency department is often sought by residents from other pediatric training programs in Texas and Oklahoma.

The objectives of the course are to:

Recognize, evaluate, and manage acutely ill and injured pediatric patients

Master technical skills, including: venous access, venipuncture, lumbar puncture, laceration repair, splinting, and bladder catheterization

Evaluate and manage common pediatric complaints and disease processes

Acquire and maintain efficiency and prioritization required to care for multiple patients simultaneously

Requirements for this course include:

Core competencies: common complaints, disease processes, and technical skills

Monthly patient lists: chief complaint and diagnosis

Noon and monthly emergency room conferences and grand rounds

Education opportunities include:

Group check-out rounds

Monthly Pediatric Emergency Medicine Conferences

"Emergigrams"

"Article of the Month"

Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellows Meeting

Core Journal CD

"Case of the Month"

Fellows

The well-established Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship Program accepts both pediatric- and emergency medicine-trained residents with an interest in furthering their careers in pediatric emergency medicine.

The program provides strong clinical training and includes a comprehensive research curriculum with didactic teaching that covers basic research concepts and statistics.

Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2017 Annual Report

Division faculty have diverse research interests, offering the fellows a unique opportunity to select the appropriate mentor with interests that match theirs. An experienced research coordinator is available to assist faculty and fellows with their research projects. Faculty and fellows play a major role in the education of pediatric residents, family medicine residents, adult emergency medicine residents, and medical students. Recognizing the outstanding clinical training and opportunities to evaluate and manage a diverse population of acutely ill and injured children, fellows from other Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship Programs often submit requests for elective rotations here.

Research Activities

PEM serves a diverse population with broad pediatric pathology and high acuity, providing an ideal environment for clinical research. Because of a rich clinical service and broad research interests, the Division has been routinely selected to participate in multicenter, national, and international level studies. The research team has a proven track record of success by becoming one of the top enrolling sites for numerous multi-center federally funded studies.

The mission of the Division is to conduct state of the art clinical research, with an emphasis on improving the clinical care and outcome of the acutely ill or injured child. The pillars of the research program in the Division include trauma, EMS/pre-hospital management, injury prevention, pain management, sedation, respiratory care, and neurologic emergencies.

The research infrastructure includes a full time dedicated research coordinator and three research assistants. The research assistants are present in the Emergency Department 15 hours per day. In addition, we have two medical students working as volunteer research assistants.

The Division has created a Research Council to review and oversee all PEM research. The council is composed of the Division, Research, and Fellowship Directors, the Associate Director of the Fellowship Program, Research Coordinator, faculty members of the Injury Prevention Program, a member of the Emergency Medicine nursing management and nursing education staff, and select senior PEM faculty. The PEM Research Council's purpose is to review and oversee all PEM research development and conduct. The council was formed in order to have a committee within the Division with research expertise to provide advice and support for projects and to help projects reach their full potential.

Clinical Activities Pediatric Emergency Medicine faculty and fellows provide emergency services at Children's Health. In 2017 we evaluated 180,441 ill and injured children at both Dallas and Plano campuses. Nearly 44% of these patients had non-urgent or low acuity complaints and were evaluated in Fast Track. Our ED admission rate remains at 16.7% for Dallas and 8.1% for Plano, with nearly 40% of all hospital admissions presenting through the ED. The Dallas ED is the only Level 1 pediatric trauma center in North Texas, and one of the busiest pediatric emergency medicine clinical services in the country. As the pediatric trauma center for Dallas County, we provide emergency care for a variety of complex problems in children with special health care needs.

Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2017 Annual Report

Two pediatric emergency medicine faculty, Drs. Sing-Yi Feng and Collin Goto, are also certified toxicologists. They manage a special Lead Poisoning Clinic at Children’s and provide toxicology consultation service at Children’s, Parkland Memorial Hospital, and Clements University Hospital.

The emergency department serves as the clinical laboratory for the division faculty, where more than a dozen investigative studies are ongoing and designed to answer critical questions that will improve the care provided to children in crisis. Study themes include: treatment of respiratory diseases, pain management and sedation, injury epidemiology, noninvasive monitoring, and brain injury research.

Telemedicine Program

The TeleER started in 2016 and has evolved over the past 12 months. We currently serve 12 hospital emergency departments and have two telemedicine stations; one in the Dallas ED and one in the Plano ED. Drs. Halim Hennes, Mohamed Badawy, and Pamela Okada serve as the backup telemedicine consultants when the ED is busy and unable to respond. In 2016 we responded to 61 consults, an average of 5/month.
