Social Emergency Medicine incorporates consideration of patients'
social needs and larger structural context into the practice of
emergency care and related research. In doing so, the field
explores the interplay of social forces and the emergency care
system as they influence the well-being of individual patients and
the broader community. Social Emergency Medicine recognizes that in
many cases typical fixes such as prescriptions and follow-up visits
are not enough; the need for housing, a safe neighborhood in which
to exercise or socialize, or access to healthy food must be
identified and addressed before patients' health can be restored.
While interest in the subject is growing rapidly, the field of
Social Emergency Medicine to date has lacked a foundational text -
a gap this book seeks to fill. This book includes foundational
chapters on the salience of racism, gender and gender identity,
immigration, language and literacy, and neighborhood to emergency
care. It provides readers with knowledge and resources to assess
and assist emergency department patients with social needs
including but not limited to housing, food, economic opportunity,
and transportation. Core emergency medicine content areas including
violence and substance use are covered uniquely through the lens of
Social Emergency Medicine. Each chapter provides background and
research, implications and recommendations for practice from the
bedside to the hospital/healthcare system and beyond, and case
studies for teaching. Social Emergency Medicine: Principles and
Practice is an essential resource for physicians and physician
assistants, residents, medical students, nurses and nurse
practitioners, social workers, hospital administrators, and other
professionals who recognize that high-quality emergency care
extends beyond the ambulance bay.
