title: When it comes to IT, ED managers lag behind.
abstract: Information technology (IT) can lead to improvements in throughout, patient safety, quality, and patient satisfaction. ED managers now can be accessible when they are on the floor or even if they are at home. Having real-time information available allows managers to spot and react proactively to small problems before they become large ones. By establishing and tracking metrics, an IT system will enable you to obtain an accurate evaluation of your department's performance.
