Drs. Maame Yaa Yiadom and Ian Brown‘s proposal, Developing Artificial Physician Intelligence for the Early Detection of STEMI: Closing an Emergency Care Clinical Practice Gap, has been selected by the Executive Committee at the Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Imaging and the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (Stanford HAI). The proposals went through three rounds of review, as

Maame Yaa Yiadom, MD, MPH, MSCI attended the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) Annual Meeting in New Orleans on May 10-13, 2022. Dr. Yiadom presented on Pragmatic Clinical Trials alongside colleagues (pictured).

Gabrielle Bunney, MD, MBA attended the Emergency Medicine’s Western Regional Conference 2022 (WSAEM), hosted by Stanford University Department of Emergency Medicine. During the Abstract Sessions, Dr. Bunney presented on The Incremental Value of Using Chief Complaint, Age, and Sex to Identify Patients for an Early ED ECG.

Brett Cohen, MD leads a study examining a virtual visit program and its effects on patient safety, quality of care delivered, and patient flow in the adult emergency department.

Gabrielle Bunney, MD, MBA Candidate leads a study that explores the value of additional screening criteria to identify patients with ACS for an early ECG to diagnose STEMI upon first contact.

Divya Kurian, MD leads a study that examines the impact of an emergency physician staffed walk-in clinic as an alternative care location for low acuity patients as emergency department volume exceeds capacity.

Nicholas Ashenberg, MD, leads a case study on the impact of an Emergency Department virtual visit model of care to address the problem of longer ED length of stays for low-acuity patients.

Shashank Ravi, MD leads a study on the impact of the Emergency Department’s Drive-through care model to address capacity limitations and infection control in the early stages of Stanford’s COVID-19 pandemic response.

Cherrelle Smith, MD leads a clinical operations study examining racial, ethnic and language disparities in time to pain medication delivery for pediatric emergency department patients.
