In our academic emergency department, our senior residents lead their own patient care team, known as the red team (RT). Attending physicians are responsible for managing their own team (AT) and precepting the senior resident's cases. ⋯ We found that our patient care model did not lead to an increased number of M&M cases and RT cases were not associated with worse outcomes overall. Additionally, there was no increased rate of M&M cases in the beginning of the academic year.

The Affordable Care Act has added millions of new Medicaid enrollees to the health care system. These patients account for a large proportion of emergency department (ED) utilization. ⋯ The vast majority of Medicaid enrollees who used the ED were young females, with a large proportion of visits occurring during business hours. Almost one-third of all visits were from frequent ED users.
