    Abstract Background: Goals of care discussions are infrequently documented in the preoperative period. Furthermore, documentation does not consistently address what matters most to patients, although patient values (PV) are central to person-centered care.
    Methods: A multidisciplinary working group was formed. An electronic note comprised of (1) topics of discussion, (2) PV, and (3) advance care planning (ACP), was created and embedded into existing note templates for Gynecologic Surgical Oncology. Surgeons and advanced practice providers (APPs) were educated to conduct and document these conversations in preoperative clinic for patients undergoing cancer surgery for a pilot period. Data were collected regarding usage of the template. Focus groups with surgeons, APPs, and patients were conducted. Qualitative analysis was performed on transcripts.
    Results: During the pilot, 7 surgeon/APP teams utilized the template on a total of 55 notes. Average number of notes completed per surgeon was 7.8 (SD 8.5). Forty-six notes (84%) included topics of discussion, 15 (27%) included PV, 4 (7%) included ACP. Qualitative analysis of focus group transcripts revealed that clinicians and patients perceived the initiative to be useful and important, although implementation barriers were identified.
    Conclusion: Creating a surgery-specific GOC template is feasible. Iterative revisions are needed to increase utility in clinic workflows.

    Abstract Purpose: To describe the development and implementation of a new digital health clinical tool (Gynecologic Survivorship Tool [GST]) for symptom management of women surgically treated for gynecologic cancer; to assess its feasibility; and to conduct a retrospective review of the data.
    Materials and methods: The GST was developed on the basis of a comprehensive review of the literature, multidisciplinary expert opinion, and feedback from women with a history of gynecologic cancer. It is composed of 17 questions addressing six main categories-gynecologic health (abnormal bleeding/pain), lymphedema, vaginal/vulvar dryness, sexual health, menopause (hot flushes/sleep difficulties), and bowel/urinary issues. An electronic version using the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Engage platform was piloted in two clinics for patients with endometrial or cervical cancer. Health information was generated into clinical summaries and identified concerns for actionable response. Associations of symptom and survey time point were assessed by longitudinal models using generalized estimating equations.
    Results: From January 1, 2019, to February 29, 2020, 3,357 GST assessments were assigned to 1,405 patients, with a 71% completion rate (90% within 5 minutes). Sixty-eight percent were performed at home via a patient portal, 32% at follow-ups using a clinic iPad. The most common symptoms were bowel problems, swelling/fluid, pain during examination, vaginal or vulvar dryness, and vaginal bleeding. Implementation challenges included improving patient compliance and ensuring that reports were reviewed by all clinical teams. We developed screening e-mails detailing patients whose assessments were due, planned training sessions for multidisciplinary teams, and incorporated feedback on methods for reviewing symptoms reports.
    Conclusion: The GST demonstrated feasibility, a high completion rate, and minimal time commitment. It was an effective electronic reporting mechanism for patients, enabling the medical team to develop specific strategies for alleviating bothersome symptoms during follow-up.

    Abstract Toxins have had major roles in our societies for thousands of years. Interactions between surgeons, both generalists and subspecialists, and those caring for poisoned patients have been extensive throughout history. The advancement of the science of toxicology, the development of regional poison control centers, the development of emergency medicine, and the development of the subspecialty of medical toxicology have led to more appropriate and creative interactions between medical toxicologists, emergency physicians, and surgeons. This article will review the diverse interfaces between the medical toxicologist and the surgeon.

    Abstract In our country the increasing commercialization of medicine is taking control of our medical school faculties, hospitals, and education. There is an overemphasis on health care efficiency, with a dramatic decrease in the commitment to research, an increase in the cost of medical education and resultant staggering student debt, an increasing number of medically uninsured, and an ever-widening gap between the best that American medicine can offer and that which the indigent receive.

    Abstract Study objective: Frequent emergency department (ED) users with severe alcohol use disorders are often excluded from research, in part because assessing capacity to provide consent is challenging. We aim to assess the feasibility of using the University of California, San Diego Brief Assessment of Capacity to Consent, a 5-minute, easy-to-use, validated instrument, to screen for capacity to consent for research in frequent ED users with severe alcohol use disorders.
    Methods: We prospectively enrolled a convenience sample of 20 adults to assess their capacity to provide consent for participation in 30-minute mixed-methods interviews using the 10-question University of California, San Diego Brief Assessment of Capacity to Consent. Participants were identified through an administrative database, had greater than 4 annual ED visits for 2 years, and had severe alcohol use disorders. The study was conducted with institutional review board approval from March to July 2013 in an urban, public, university ED receiving approximately 120,000 visits per year. Blood alcohol concentration and demographic data were extracted from the medical record.
    Results: We completed assessments for 19 of 20 participants. One was removed because of agitation. Sixteen of 19 participants passed each question and were deemed capable of providing informed consent. Interventions to improve understanding (prompting and material review) were required for 15 of 19 participants. The mean duration to describe the study and perform the assessment was 10.4 minutes (SD 3 minutes). The mean blood alcohol concentration was 211.5 mg/dL (SD 137.4 mg/dL). The 3 patients unable to demonstrate capacity had blood alcohol concentrations of 226 and 348 mg/dL, with 1 not obtained.
    Conclusion: This pilot study supports the feasibility of using the University of California, San Diego Brief Assessment of Capacity to Consent to assess capacity of frequent ED users with severe alcohol use disorders to participate in research. Blood alcohol concentration was not correlated with capacity.
