Having your ED linked to a computerized patient information exchange network, in which you can pull up the past history of patients presenting to your department, can offer financial advantages and improve quality of care. By enabling you to track "frequent fliers," you can identify patients who require a primary care provider. By arranging for such care, you can reduce the readmission rate for these patients. By learning which imaging tests the patient recently had, you might be able to avoid redundant testing. The computerized record of the patient's past treatment can help ensure continuity of care in terms of existing conditions and an accurate record of medications.
将急诊科与计算机化的患者信息交换网络相连，在该网络中你可以调出到贵科室就诊患者的既往病史，这既能带来经济效益，又能提高医疗质量。通过能够追踪“常客”，你可以识别出需要初级护理提供者的患者。通过安排此类护理，你可以降低这些患者的再次入院率。通过了解患者最近做过哪些影像检查，你或许能够避免重复检查。患者过去治疗的计算机化记录有助于确保在现有病情方面的护理连续性以及药物的准确记录。
