Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming healthcare, moving from a futuristic idea to a practical tool used by clinicians every day. From ambient documentation and radiology workflows to emerging clinical decision support systems, AI is already helping physicians work more efficiently and focus more time on patient care. But as these technologies become more capable, important […]
One of the things I quickly realized as a new attending was that residents rarely struggled with the straightforward febrile infant. The pathway cases? Easy. But every few shifts, someone would present a child and then pause halfway through the plan: “Well… my last attending did something completely different.” That’s where this talk came from.

One of my favorite parts about being in PEM is the constant sharing of good content – studies, FOAM posts, conferences, podcasts, interesting cases, practice-changing papers, and the occasional “you need to read this before your next shift” text message. A lot of the best educational pearls I come across don’t start with a formal

There’s no shortage of new studies competing for your attention, but let’s be honest – most of us don’t have the time (or patience) to sift through it all. One of the ways I keep up is by writing for JournalFeed, where the goal is to distill new research into what actually matters at the

What if your emergency department could predict admissions at triage, automatically flag high-risk patients in real time, and tell families exactly when they’ll be seen – before a clinician ever walks into the room? In this second interview in our AI series, I sit down with Dr. Jason Fischer, Division Head of Pediatric Emergency Medicine
For many practicing pediatric emergency physicians, measles feels like a disease from another era. In fact, measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000. But over the past several years, declining vaccination rates and increasing global circulation have pushed measles back into the clinical conversation. The reality is that many emergency clinicians today

Artificial intelligence is rapidly entering the pediatric emergency department – reshaping how we think about clinical decision support, medical education, and the future of physician practice. To explore what this actually means for clinicians on the ground, I’m launching a new interview series on HipPEMcrates featuring conversations with pediatric emergency medicine physicians and educators who
Welcome to the second edition of the HipPEMcrates Mailbag – where we continue to explore common questions from the Pediatric Emergency Department. These are the topics that come up during busy shifts, the clinical pearls shared during signout, and the thoughtful questions from learners that prompt us to pause and review the evidence behind our

Hot Off the Press! This past Monday, JAMA published a new study titled “Prediction of Bacteremia and Bacterial Meningitis Among Febrile Infants Aged 28 Days or Younger.” The study evaluated whether the PECARN Febrile Infant Prediction Rule (you know the one – negative urine, serum procalcitonin ≤0.5 ng/mL, and ANC ≤4000/mm3) can be applied to
