About EDO Our Clientele

EDO Costs

Hospitals

Traditionally hospitals have engaged Emergenuity when they have had problems with ED performance. Emergency Department Overcrowding (EDO) is the single most common reason for this. They have seen the value of our flexible and creative approach to re-configuring and re-designing their processes of care to reflect the needs of today's patient population.

In addition, our informatics and metrics help manage the ED practices and the electronic decision support tools drive appropriate processes of care in the ED. In particular the ED Case Management Tools (CMT) helps channel patients to the correct level of care thereby reducing denials and shortening length of stay.

Some of the issues that our client hospitals have cited:

  • Community perception of low quality
  • Poor ED through-put
  • Safety concerns
  • Financial impact of EDO
    • Inappropriate utilization of in-patient resources
    • Denials associated with inappropriate admissions and short stays
    • LWBS
    • Drive-Bys
    • Diversions
