The Chief Complaint

An algorithmic approach to the most common complaints in emergency medicine

The Chief Complaint app now includes access to the new ESCAVO Clinical Community, a forum where clinicians can exchange ideas, ask questions and collaborate on sepsis and other clinical topics.

How would you like to walk into the ER confident that you knew what to do, no matter what comes through the door? The Chief Complaint app uses an algorithmic approach to over 50 of the most common complaints encountered in emergency medicine. Never feel lost or overwhelmed again, not knowing what the next step in the work-up is. Not sure what tests to order or if the patient can go home? The Chief Complaint helps you answer all those questions and more!

The Chief Complaint was created by Dr. Chris Feier, MD, assistant professor of clinical emergency medicine at the Keck School of Medicine at LAC+USC Medical Center. The app is based on Dr. Feier's popular reference book by the same name, and includes the following features:

- An algorithm-based approach to the most common emergency medicine complaints

- Journal club feature allows you to dive deeper into the evidence basis of your decisions

- Peer reviewed by leading physicians in emergency medicine

- Important medical calculators and scores commonly used in the ER

- Emergency medicine drug guide easily accessible right from the content pages

- All content, including treatment algorithms, is stored locally in the app, network access is only required for content updates

- Automatic content updating keeps app's contents up to date free of charge
