Emergency Department


The emergency department is often the front door to the health care system, and as such has become the front line in the battle to control health care costs and ensure health care quality. Emergency departments operate under increasing pressure, such as mounting patient volumes, more stringent regulatory requirements, and increasing staff shortages.

Using the right technology can help improve communication both within the emergency department and between the emergency department and caregivers outside the ED. McKesson EDIS (emergency department information system) solutions are based on the clinical workflow of the emergency department and provide a common, knowledge-driven documentation source. Since the emergency department accounts for 40%–70% of inpatient admissions, this documentation can play a critical role in hospital-wide efforts to manage capacity, enhance efficiency and ensure patient safety.
