As part of its ongoing commitment to providing the highest quality of emergency care, ACEP has developed the Clinical Emergency Data Registry (CEDR) and the Emergency Quality Network (E-QUAL). These first-of-their-kind networks support emergency physicians’ efforts to improve quality and practice in all types of emergency departments, even as practice and payment policies change over the coming years.

CEDR

As part of its ongoing commitment to providing the highest quality of emergency medicine care, ACEP developed CEDR. CEDR is the first emergency medicine specialty-wide registry to support emergency physicians’ efforts to improve quality and practice in all types of emergency departments, even as practice and payment policies change. CEDR has been approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as a qualified clinical data registry and provides a unified method for ACEP members to collect and submit Physician Quality Reporting System data, maintenance of certification (MOC), ongoing professional practice evaluation, and other local and national quality initiatives. Visit our booth for demonstrations, questions, and more.

E-QUAL

E-QUAL is designed to support the CMS Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative, to engage emergency medicine clinicians and their emergency departments in improving clinical outcomes, coordination of care, and reduced costs by:

• Improving outcomes for patients with sepsis.
• Reducing avoidable imaging with ACEP’s Choosing Wisely recommendations.
• Reducing avoidable admissions in low-risk patients with chest pain.
• Improving implementation of best practices for opioid prescribing in the emergency department.

Participation in E-QUAL demonstrates the importance of emergency medicine. You’ll also earn improvement activity credit for the merit based incentive payment system program, MOC Part IV credit, free eCME, and more resources and guidelines in the E-QUAL toolkits. Visit our booth to learn what E-QUAL can do for you.
