URGENT Matters serves as a dissemination vehicle for strategies on emergency department (ED) patient flow, quality, and innovation. We develop quarterly e-newsletters, educational webinars, a searchable collection of ED improvement tools and strategies, national conferences, and a podcast series for a multi-disciplinary audience of emergency care stakeholders. URGENT Matters serves as a portal for innovative flow strategies, creating a central resource for hospital staff to discover field-tested initiatives that can be tailored to their organization.
