title: ED quality performance moves into the public reporting arena.
abstract: As an ED manager, you face the growing challenge of your performance data being shared with the public and with hospital administration. Be sure to share the good news with your administration, so they can use it to help market the hospital. When adverse rankings appear, you have two options: Seek additional resources to improve performance, or challenge the data. Use an automated system to access"real-time"data on your department's performance, so you will always be ready to defend your ED.
