Health information exchange associated with improved emergency department care through faster accessing of patient information from outside organizations.
This study assessed whether electronic health information exchange (HIE) is associated with improved emergency department (ED) care processes and utilization through more timely clinician viewing of information from outside organizations. It concluded that the relationship between HIE and improved care processes and reduced utilization in the ED is mediated by faster accessing of information from outside organizations.

Collaborating-or "selling" patients? A conceptual framework for emergency department-to-inpatient handoff negotiations.
The authors propose an empirically grounded conceptual framework of emergency department admission handoff negotiations that represents handoffs as situated within ongoing flows of action, variable negotiation contexts, stable organizational structures, and macro environments. The purpose of this framework is to raise awareness of potential opportunities to intervene and improve the contexts in which handoffs occur in order to foster greater collaboration and improve resilience.
