QUOTE ATTRIBUTABLE TO MELANIE MATTHEWS, HIN EXECUTIVE VP AND COO:
Click here for Melanie Matthews's profile.
“In an economy where EDs are increasingly the safety net providers for uninsured populations, this is need-to-know information. In its National Report Card on the State of Emergency Medicine for 2009, the American College of Emergency Physicians has given the United States an overall grade of C-, largely due to poor ratings for access to emergency care. These hospital EDs are getting high marks from patients and peers on their innovative approaches to facility design, physician engagement, staff retention and patient flow. "
