*New Expedited Work up Clinic referral process: https://www.wikem.org/wiki/Harbor:Expedited_Work-up_Clinic_(EWC)
*New asthma guidelines
**The preferred DHS controller medication is Symbicort (formeterol – long-acting B-agonist + budesonide – inhaled corticosteroid), 2nd line is Advair (salmeterol + fluticasone). 
**If seeing the patient in the ED for an asthma exacerbation, please be sure to refill their controller medication AND the albuterol (if needed).  We fall out if they fill more albuterol Rx’s in a year than their controller medication, so we need to make sure they get both when seen in the ED.  If prescribing albuterol, do not give refills (you get 200 puffs!).
*Sepsis – remember to do the required components of the sepsis core measure w/in 3 hrs (30ml/kg, bcx, abx), document using the auto text (use “auto text copy utility” to get Brad Chappell’s “ .harsepsis” to go through the reminder guidance text and exclusions for IVF 30ml/kg. Communicate to the admitting team if they need to repeat the lactate and perform the sepsis reassessment exam with time stamp (w/in 6 hrs).
