- Title
Solving the emergency care crisis in America: the power of the law and storytelling.
- Authors
Maa, John
- Abstract
An Emergency Department visit that ended tragically prompted my yearlong journey to Washington, DC, and emergency rooms across the country to search for solutions to the national crisis in emergency care. I reached the conclusion that the crisis is entirely solvable, and I developed a three-part solution that includes 1) nationally standardizing and coordinating care, 2) prioritizing resources and incentives in the delivery of emergency care, and 3) inspiring young clinicians to careers in emergency care. Physicians across America should now harness the power of storytelling to strengthen both the delivery of patient care and health care reform efforts on Capitol Hill.
