2018 Academic Emergency Medicine Consensus Conference: A Workforce Development Research Agenda for Pediatric Care in the Emergency Department.
Although the number of pediatric emergency medicine specialists continues to rise, the vast majority of children are cared for in general EDs outside of children's hospitals by a diverse workforce of care providers who must possess the knowledge, experience, skills, and systemic support necessary to deliver excellent pediatric emergency care. There is a crucial need to understand the factors that drive the professional development and support systems of this diverse workforce. In this paper the investigators identified five key research themes and prioritized a specific research agenda.

A real-time automated patient screening system for clinical trials eligibility in an emergency department: design and evaluation.
This study assessed the effectiveness of using a natural language processing system called Automated Clinical Trial Eligibility Screener (ACTES) compared to traditional screening methods to recruit patients in the emergency department for a clinical trial. ACTES was fully integrated into the pediatric emergency department at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical center for a 12-month period. A 34% time saving rate was found overall and that saved time was redirected to other activities such as study-related administrative tasks and work-related conversations.
