Let's Talk Chatroom

The Wellness Section aims to continuously improve the wellness of emergency physicians within our health systems and in part of that work, we are happy to announce the launching of the ‘Let’s Talk’ community. This is an EngagED community that specifically aims to create a safe space where members can discuss ongoing challenges within their roles, EDs, and life in general. The idea behind this community is to provide everyone a space where they can reach out to fellow colleagues for advice and encouragement pertaining to the internal and external factors that balance with our wellness.

Guidelines

Within the community we have a few guidelines we would like to present to help keep communications constructive and encouraging.

• All posts are moderated. Each time a post is submitted, it is reviewed prior to publishing to the community. This is primarily to ensure that posts fit within the ACEP standards of utilizing EngagED.
• All posts need to deidentified. Please do not include names of hospitals, leaders, employees, or patients.
• Posts can address personal and professional issues and challenges, but we ask that they are constructive and not critical in nature.
• If a post is being rejected, you will be notified directly with an explanation and proposed modifications so that we can publish your post.

We understand that some topics can be difficult to raise and we want your voice to be heard, so we want to highlight the anonymous posting feature. This is a feature you have the option to use within any EngagED community and we encourage you to use this if it makes you more comfortable posting discussions.

A few things to mention about the Anonymous Posting Feature:

• If you post anonymously, your information is removed even within the moderating process. The moderator cannot see your information.
• You can respond to posts anonymously.
• If you respond to an anonymous posting, you will not be able to respond directly to the individual that created the original posting and the response will be posted to the community.

*If you choose to not post anonymously, your name will appear on the post board and any member within the community may be able to respond to you directly. This includes any response to a post.
