Electronic Clinical Information Systems
EMA developed the country’s first Emergency Department-specific electronic medical record, known as Emergency Department Information Manager(EDIM), over 20 years ago. To date, EDIM, which is in use at over 25 emergency departments in the United States, has documented over 12 million consecutive ED patient encounters. Additionally, EMA is the recognized national leader in Emergency Department Business Intelligence,™ which allows the analysis of data pertaining to an emergency department’s, clinical, operational, financial and risk reduction performance.
