In an attempt to provide a venue for vetting the facts, ACEP Now reached out to Summa Emergency Associates (SEA), US Acute Care Solutions (USACS), and the Summa Health System, based in Akron, Ohio, for their perspectives on Summa Health System’s recent decision to contract with USACS instead of SEA, an important issue affecting our specialty. Both SEA and USACS were approached and consented to interviews with ACEP Now Medical Editor in Chief Kevin Klauer, DO, EJD, FACEP, on Jan. 10, 2017; questions were provided to them in advance. Summa Health System declined a request for an interview before press time but provided the statement included below. There is no editorial content. This information is directly from the principals of the groups. The ACEP Now editorial advisory board reviewed the finalized transcripts to ensure that the representation of the facts is fair and balanced, representing the viewpoints of those interviewed. The interviews are presented alphabetically by group name.

Disclosure: Dr. Klauer was formerly employed by EMP from 1999 to 2014. He has no current financial or other relationship with EMP and has no current or former relationship with USACS.
