摘要

Objectives: Emergency medicine (EM) physicians and pediatricians who provide acute pediatric care depend on clinical exposure during residency to learn pediatric EM. Increasing volumes of pediatric patients, especially with behavioral health complaints, have stressed pediatric emergency departments (ED) and prompted clinical operations innovations including alternative care sites outside the main ED. We investigated the impact of these recent trends and resulting alternative care sites on the exposure of residents to core pediatric conditions. Methods: This retrospective study reviewed patient encounters between July 1,2018, and December 31, 2022, at a pediatric ED that hosts one pediatric and three EM residencies. During the study, the hospital employed alternative care sites in response to increased and shifting patient populations. Median patients per resident per academic year were compared before and after the opening of alternative care sites, overall and stratified by patient factors (age, sex, Emergency Severity Index ESI, and diagnostic category). The study also compared the percentage of residents who saw no patients with a given diagnosis between the two periods. Results: Of 231,101 patient encounters, 199,947 were seen in the main ED and 31,154 in alternative care sites. The median number of patients seen by a single resident in a single academic year ranged from 82 to 136 for pediatric residents and from 128 to 183 for EM residents. The median number of patients per resident per year did not decrease for any age group, sex, ESI level, or diagnosis across the two periods. Residents saw a median of 19 more patients with psychiatric diagnoses (95 CI 15.4-22.7) in the more recent period. Seven diagnoses were not seen by at least 20 of residents during both periods. Conclusions: Current pediatric ED capacity challenges can be addressed with alternative care sites without decreasing volume or variety of patients seen by residents.
