Welcome to the EDBAwiki
The Emergency Department is a site of intense service interactions, unpredictable care loads and expectations, and cost challenges. To address service challenges, it is essential to apply the best delivery concepts in the industry. The Emergency Department Benchmarking Alliance (EDBA) was created for those ED administrators interested in the application of management and service concepts. The Vision Statement of the EDBA is simple: Identification, development, and implementation of future best practices in Emergency Medicine.
The Alliance was founded by Emergency Department leaders seeking solutions to local service issues. It is composed of all disciplines of Emergency Department administrators: physicians, nursing, and management. The chair is Dr. Charles L. Reese, IV, MD from Christiana Care Health Services.
The group has benefited from the input of about 25 of the largest ED's in the central part of the country with a high-quality mission. In the healthcare service industry, all providers are obligated to a continuous process of quality improvement and cost-effectiveness. We share a dedication to quality medical care, patient satisfaction, medical education, and community service. Each Alliance member is asked to host a meeting in their city, with the group having the opportunity to tour the host hospital and its ED. Alliance members can bring any personnel from their site that will benefit from attendance and participation.
