Integrated Multidisciplinary Approach to Acute Chest Pain: Perspectives From Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and Internal Medicine

Emergency medicine professionals consistently utilize diagnostic tools like ECGs and troponin tests more frequently, reflecting their time-sensitive clinical environment, but also report significant time constraints. In contrast, internal medicine practitioners, who generally have more years of experience, reported the highest adherence to management protocols, yet they also identified a lack of standardized guidelines as a major barrier. Family medicine professionals, while showing strong interdisciplinary collaboration, had lower utilization rates of advanced diagnostic tools, which may impact early decision-making. These disparities underline the need for unified protocols and improved communication pathways across specialties to enhance diagnostic accuracy and streamline management.

Abstract

Emergency medicine professionals consistently utilize diagnostic tools like ECGs and troponin tests more frequently, reflecting their time-sensitive clinical environment, but also report significant time constraints. In contrast, internal medicine practitioners, who generally have more years of experience, reported the highest adherence to management protocols, yet they also identified a lack of standardized guidelines as a major barrier. Family medicine professionals, while showing strong interdisciplinary collaboration, had lower utilization rates of advanced diagnostic tools, which may impact early decision-making. These disparities underline the need for unified protocols and improved communication pathways across specialties to enhance diagnostic accuracy and streamline management.
