Focus on the retention and development of faculty. Children’s Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine In 2021, more than 218,000 patients were treated at the three campuses of Children’s. Emergency care is provided by two distinct groups, faculty of the Emory Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine and Pediatric Emergency Medicine Associates (PEMA), a private practice group. Though care delivered by these groups is provided at different locations in the System, PEMA and the Division have a history of productive interaction and collaboration, and there is a deliberate focus on advancing the alignment and culture of excellence of emergency care delivery across Children’s. Multiple learners, including 250 residents and 11 fellows, rotate through the Egleston, Hughes Spalding, Scottish Rite, and Grady EDs. The Egleston Campus, which opened in 1984, is home to the first and only state-designated Level I pediatric trauma center in Georgia. The facility has 45 ED beds, and it is located on the Emory University campus in the Decatur/Druid Hills area of Atlanta. The ED is comprised of a high performing group of professionals with a reputation as a premier provider of emergency care across the country. The Egleston ED is staffed by faculty of the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Division of Emory’s Department of Pediatrics (see below for further details). In 2021, we treated over 70,000 patients in our Egleston ED. The Egleston Campus will close when the Arthur M. Blank Hospital opens in the fall of 2024. The Emory Division of Emergency Medicine strives for excellence in the tripartite missions of clinical care, teaching and scholarship. The Division has been a Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) center since 2019, and it has been a leading enrollment site in many studies. In addition, it has numerous federal, foundation and industry sponsored trials. Areas of focus include: injury prevention, quality improvement, sickle cell management, global health, simulation, concussion care, and serving the underserved. The Hughes Spalding Campus is centrally located in downtown Atlanta. The campus continues to see significant growth in volume and will be expanding the ED from 29 to 39 beds this year. Physician staffing is provided by the Emory Pediatric EM Division. In 2021 we treated over 50,000 patient in the Hughes Spalding ED. The Scottish Rite Campus contains the state’s only Level II pediatric trauma center. It is close to I-285 and GA-400 in the Perimeter/Dunwoody area of Atlanta. The ED has 61 beds, with the ability to flex up to 77 beds and an additional 14 patient care spaces if needed. In 2021, the Scottish Rite ED saw over 96,000 patients. The ED is staffed by PEMA, which was incorporated in 2000 but established in 1984 when the leadership at Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital recognized the need for a pediatric emergency room. Under the leadership of Dr. Joseph Simon, Atlanta’s first free-standing, exclusively pediatric emergency facility was established in July of 1984, which was four years before pediatric emergency medicine was recognized as a specialty with board certification. Initially staffed by four pediatric trained physicians with a special interest in acute care, the service has grown to over 100 physicians and advanced practice providers; it also includes a procedural sedation service. The Scottish Rite campus has consistently remained in the top quartile of all benchmarks related to throughput and left without being seen. ED throughput, patient experience, left without being seen rates and clinical quality metrics are benchmarks for the rest of the country. The new Chief will be charged with the continued enhancement of efficiencies and processes of care across the enterprise. For more information on Children’s please visit www.choa.org.
