​
PROFESSIONAL TEAM
PARTICIPANT SUMMARY
A total of 9 teams participated
This included:
-
41 medical students
-
36 residents
-
9 attending physicians
"It was a great learning experience from senior students, residents, and attendings."
"Excellent brainstorming around system issues that are rarely addressed in medical school or residency."
"I learned to look beyond 'community' changes to address the problem we have right now."
"I wanted to participate in this event to get a better understanding of what healthcare management entails."
THE WINNING SOLUTION
The winning solution presented by Team Light Blue introduced the ISAR tool, developed at McGill’s St. Mary's Hospital, as the "seventh vital sign" to address ED access block, particularly for seniors. The ISAR tool consists of six screening questions that identify older patients at risk of adverse outcomes, helping determine whether they should be admitted or discharged. By streamlining decision-making, ISAR helps reduce ED length of stay and revisit rates while optimizing consults with social workers or occupational therapists.
