The effectiveness of pharmacist-provided telephonic medication therapy management on emergency department utilization in home health patients.
This article's objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of a telephonic medication therapy management (MTM) service on reducing emergency department utilization within a Medicare-insured home health population. The authors found that this pharmacist-delivered telephonic medication therapy management program did not decrease emergency department utilization overall but may further reduce the such risk among patients who are at lower risk of utilization.

Field assessment stroke triage for emergency destination: a simple and accurate prehospital scale to detect large vessel occlusion strokes.
The authors aimed to develop a simple field scale to identify large vessel occlusion strokes (LVOS). They found that Field Assessment Stroke Triage for Emergency Destination (FAST-ED) is a simple scale that, if successfully validated in the field, may be used by medical emergency professionals to identify LVOS in the prehospital setting enabling rapid triage of patients.

Variation and trends in anaphylaxis care in United States children's hospitals.
The authors sought to determine the extent of variation in treatment of children with anaphylaxis. They found that there is substantial variability in the use of common therapies and hospitalization rates for children cared for in U.S. children's hospitals, highlighting the need for research defining optimal care for anaphylaxis.
