The Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, formerly the California
Journal of Emergency Medicine, is the official specialty society journal
of the California Chapter of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine
(Cal/AAEM). The journal is jointly sponsored by the University of
California, Irvine Department of Emergency Medicine and Cal/AAEM.
The Journal's purpose is to disseminate information to practicing
emergency physicians regarding efficient and optimal delivery of
emergency care, emphasizing emerging technologies. These include:
Clinical imaging
The role of computers in emergency department management and
clinical care, including information transfer within and between health
systems, and between patients and physicians.
Optimal patient care through enhanced clinical decision-making,
efficiency of evaluation and treatment, and promotion of patient safety.
Injury prevention and population health.
The Journal's goal is to be the premier open-access, peer-reviewed
emergency medicine journal, drawing submissions from the Western United
States and Western Hemisphere, and providing an English language forum
for developing emergency care systems throughout the world.
Using this space the editors of the journal can post information of interest
to readers, or remove this text box altogether using the flexible
