Every High-Performance Hospital Needs a High-Performance ED

The emergency department is the heart of the hospital. Studies show that greater than 50% of hospital admissions come through the ED and at least 45% of all hospital revenues come from patients admitted through the ED. In fact, ED inpatients typically comprise 72% of a hospital’s intensive care days, 67% of inpatient lab tests and 57% of inpatient days.

With Picis ED PulseCheck^® successfully installed and running at more than 250 hospitals of all types, Picis truly understands that the ED is the front door of the hospital. 

Picis is dedicated to enhancing ED PulseCheck in order to fully address hospitals’ unique ED-driven clinician, operational and financial needs while also taking into account the needs of the inpatient clinicians.
