EMSystems was founded in 1998 by Emergency Department physicians who were intent upon developing a solution to improve communication processes between hospitals and emergency medical service agencies regarding bed status and availability. The problem of prolonged patient wait times in emergency departments (ED) and subsequent delays in patient treatment had become a growing concern for healthcare professionals. The introduction of the first web-based hospital diversion communications system was implemented in the Milwaukee metropolitan area, resulting in an automated and streamlined communications solution throughout the emergency care system.EMSystems is now recognized as the leading provider of web-based healthcare information management solutions used by greater than 35% of the nation’s population in medical emergency event preparation, detection, and response.
