Improving Risk Assessment for Chest Pain in the Emergency Department

We are studying how to better care for people who come to the emergency room with chest pain. Right now, doctors use a tool called the HEART score to decide how serious the chest pain is and what tests the patient might need. But for patients who are in the "middle risk" group, it's hard to tell if they really need more heart tests or not. This can lead to too many tests and overcrowding in the hospital. Our study looks at new ways to help doctors decide which of these patients actually need more testing, so they can give the right care more quickly and avoid unnecessary delays or tests.

Music Therapy in Hernia Patients

This study aims to understand the challenges of using music therapy to support patients before and after surgery. While past research shows that music therapy can help reduce anxiety and the need for pain medications, it is not commonly used in hospitals. To explore this, researchers will interview surgeons, nurses, hospital staff, and patients to learn more about the barriers and how music therapy might be better included in surgical care.
