Introduction to EM:POWER
EM:POWER stands for Emergency Medicine: Patient care-Organizational – Workforce – Ecosystem Redesign.
Challenges in Canada’s health system are all too often manifested in its emergency departments (EDs). CAEP commissioned the EM:POWER Task Force to probe the system and its many stakeholders, identify underlying problems and propose a framework for system redesign. Their work took over two years and forms the basis of this report.
Mission & Objectives
-
Propose a redesigned, integrated framework for emergency care in which form follows function
-
Optimize emergency care delivery within the broader healthcare system, to help achieve the Quintuple Aim.
-
Catalyze change, by empowering from above (system leaders) and below (health workforce)
Who is this report for?
The EM:POWER Report will be relevant to a wide range of policy/decision-makers and emergency care providers across Canada, in other healthcare systems and, of course, to our patients.
