由于注册护士长期短缺，美国急诊科正面临一系列业务挑战。注册护士完成的许多任务都可以安全和成功地委托给急诊科技术员(EDT)，特别是如果医院的护理和行政领导层肯定地参与了急诊科技术人员专业化和培训的过程。本文研究了州政府、医疗保健组织认证联合委员会以及医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心对EDT的监管情况，回顾了有关医院如何利用EDT的文献，讨论了技能培训的方法，并检查了实现工作角色扩展的职业标准化的必要性。(C)2020 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
US emergency departments are facing a number of operational challenges related to chronic shortages of registered nurses. Many of the tasks done by registered nurses can be safely and successfully delegated to the emergency department technician (EDT), particularly if a hospital's nursing and administrative leadership are affirmatively engaged in a process to professionalize and train their EDT workforce. This paper examines the state, Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services regulatory landscape for the EDT, reviews the literature on how hospital's utilize EDT's, discusses approaches to skills training, and examines the need for profession standardization that enables job role expansion.
