title: EDs boost performance with Web-based data system.
abstract: Accessing current data on your department's performance can guide you toward better decisions in terms of staffing, flow strategies, and compliance with Medicare and accreditation requirements. The most important decision is deciding how much information you should capture. Being able to track the different steps within a process is critical to improving the time it takes to complete that process. Sharing data with nursing staff may show them short-comings of which they were not previously aware.
