This week’s webinar explored how new technologies, from AI tools to virtual consults to secure text messaging, have taken some of the chaos out of the Emergency Department. Remember the chaotic environment of the hit TV series ER? Doctors and nurses were rushing from one patient to the next, with little information at their disposal except what the patient or EMS crew could tell them. And if there wasn’t a specialist on hand, they’d often have to call upstairs and wait. Today’s ED is still very much frantic, but clinicians have access to far more information from the medical record, as well as video access to specialists and much better clinical decision support tools. They’re also moving their patients through the ED much more efficiently, and collaborating with ambulance and EMS crews in the field to diagnose patients and even eliminate unnecessary transports. In this week’s The Winning Edge, HealthLeaders’ last webinar of 2025, executives from three health systems discussed how new technology like AI, virtual care and digital health are improving the ED for both clinicians and patients. And they offered a glimpse into what the ED of the future might look like.
