Yet another study finds that keeping patients in the emergency department for extended periods harms admitted medical patients. "Boarding Duration in the Emergency Department and Inpatient Delirium and Severe Agitation" in JAMA concludes: "The findings suggest that ED boarding duration is a direct risk factor for developing delirium or severe agitation during inpatient admission. Building on prior study results, we found this risk to be magnified in patients with dementia." #emergencymedicine American College of Emergency Physicians American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) Society of Emergency Medicine Physician Assistants (SEMPA) American Academy of Emergency Nurse Practitioners (AAENP) Emergency Medicine Residents' Association (EMRA)

A new paper from Cory Ellen Gatrall in Nursing Outlook examines the ways in which concepts of culture, race, and ethnicity were put to work in nursing literature between 1970 and 1985. This 15-year period represented a period of intense attention to the confluence of health and society on a broad scale. Gatrall writes "This critical narrative review responds – belatedly – to the call by Porter and Barbee that '[n]ursing must continue its struggle to name and acknowledge racism'. The purpose of this study is to build upon and go beyond the task of definition; to examine the actual work that concepts of race, culture, and ethnicity are doing in the texts they inhabit, and to consider what that signifies about their meaning for the field of nursing." Read the full paper—including the themes that emerged from the articles surveyed—in Nursing Outlook: https://lnkd.in/gt5P9Z6p
