Emergency Department Information Exchange
The Emergency Department Information Exchange (EDIE) is an internet-delivered application that facilitates multidisciplinary care across participating facilities.
Emergency Department Utilization
Emergency Departments across the nation are facing dramatic increases in utilization and misuse. Much of the increased utilization and misuse stems from the inability to adequately care for a growing population of disenfranchised, repeat, or treatment reluctant patients. This emerging trend demands that EDs adapt with better and more comprehensive care strategies.
The EDIE Solution
The Emergency Department Information Exchange (EDIE) addresses this growing problem by empowering care providers with better information and tools. EDIE assists physicians, nurses, and social workers individualize care for patients by supplementing the traditional medical treatment model with a multi-discipline care plan. This cross discipline care plan gives care providers a comprehensive understanding of the patient's needs.
This program does not replace the medical model, but enhances it by augmenting care in the emergency department and providing a powerful tool in the treatment of a disenfranchised and sometimes treatment reluctant population.
