Setting the Pace 2014 was AWESOME! April 10 and 11th, 2014 turned out to be bright sunny days in Rochester New York. Many Emergency Nurses attended the 2014 Setting the Pace NYSENA annual conference.

 

The beginnings of ENA were spoken about by Dr. David Kluge an orthopedic surgeon who sponsored the EDNA group of nurses. Joanne Fadale past National president and nurse who worked side by side with Anita Dorr in a Buffalo, NY emergency room. Ellen Encapera, ENA Board of Directors and NYS National Liaison. We heard factual stories about past, present and future of ENA.

As I went from room to room to check on the speakers during Setting the Pace 2014, I was struck by how engaged the attendees were. It is a reflection of all the time and care our speakers devoted to their presentations. At the same time, in our pre sessions, the attendees were all on their feet, practicing defensive techniques or participating in a table top disaster scenario. It was fantastic to see all that energy!!   

 

When I reviewed our survey responses, I was so impressed with all the positive input. I cannot mention one without giving credit to everyone, so I am sending on my special thanks to ALL our speakers. You have helped us become better prepared to care for our patients!

Traumatic, unintentional injury -- not cancer or heart disease -- is the leading cause of death for Americans aged 1-44. In fact, injuries kill a person every three minutes. In 2010, the three most common causes of fatalities from unintentional injuries were motor vehicle-related, poisonings or falls. With over 31 million Americans seeking treatment in emergency departments every year, receiving timely and effective medical care for these trauma patients can be vital.

 

Yet, access to prompt care can be a challenge where hospitals, providers, and coordinated EMS systems are lacking. The 2014 American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) Report Card, which rates emergency care in each state, shows the percent of population living within 60 minutes of a level I or II trauma center is 82.1% nationally, but only 17.9% in Arkansas (98.1% in NY). And, the wait for emergency care is unacceptable at 4.5 hours from ED arrival to ED discharge nationally (6.1 hours in NY).
