Breaking News: Senators Roger Marshall, Elizabeth Warren, and Representatives Raul Ruiz, John Joyce have introduced The Physician and Patient Safety Act!
This crucial legislation aims to protect the due process rights of emergency room (ER) physicians, ensuring they can focus on patient care without fear of unfair termination.
At AAEM, we proudly support this bipartisan effort to strengthen healthcare integrity and safeguard patient safety. As Dr. Robert Frolichstein, AAEM’s President, states, "There is no greater policy imperative for patient safety and quality care than enacting this due process legislation."
Join us in supporting this vital bill to secure a safer, fairer healthcare environment. Together, we can ensure every physician has the freedom to uphold their Hippocratic Oath and advocate for their patients' best interests.

National Interprofessional Healthcare Month continues as Joseph Zorek, PharmD, BCGP, FNAP shares another panel from our work together.
'Shocking', from which this panel was pulled, was one of our earliest stories-- the 8th or 9th, out of 35, I believe.
It's one of my favorites, as it's very beautifully succinct.
Here, Joe and his team wrote a script that highlighted a situationally unique crisis: one that threw the readers right into the mix, without causing any sort of confusion. Throughout the story, we were able to find a really nice harmony between the words on the page and the visuals, and I fondly look back upon that success.
If you're curious to see this story in full, (as well as the rest of the stories that Joe has been showcasing) read his full post below for the name of his book, and seek it out!

This illustration comes from "SHOCKING: An Illustrated Case Study," co-authored with Jeff Fish and brought to life by George Folz.
It shines a light on the challenges faced by individuals who live in rural parts of America, where access to timely care - particularly in emergency situations - can have life-threatening consequences.
Fortunately for the main character in this case, the seamless transition of care from a talented #EMS team to an interprofessional critical care team ends well.

Last month, VITAS Healthcare was invited back on Capitol Hill to offer our expertise and contextualize the recent study by NORC at the University of Chicago. Our Chief Medical Officer Dr. Joe Shega joined Dianne Munevar from NORC and Susan Lloyd of Delaware Hospice to brief Congress on the value of hospice in Medicare.
The NORC research highlighted that hospice saved the Medicare Trust Fund $3.5 billion in 2019. Furthermore, it showed that as patients stay on the benefit longer, the cost savings and quality improvements keep growing. For instance, patients who used the service for more than six months achieved an average savings of 11% across all categories of primary disease, from neurodegenerative (like dementia and Alzheimer’s) to chronic kidney/end-stage renal.
This research continues to underscore the need for a community-based palliative care benefit. If we’re truly delivering a full continuum of care, patients with serious illnesses need access to specialized services, like palliative care, while they’re still receiving curative treatment. Palliative care is proven to help improve outcomes, reduce hospitalizations, and lower overall cost of care.
Thank you to Dr. Shega and our industry partners for putting this critical research on policymakers’ radars and advocating for a community-based palliative care benefit.
