To kick off FCEP’s 50th anniversary year, we asked our most dedicated partners — FCEP/EMLRC Annual Corporate Sponsors, who donate $10,000 or more each year — why they choose to invest in educating and supporting the emergency medicine industry. Read on to learn not only how these companies can support you and your practice, but why they love to do so.

Collective Medical is the nation’s leading, real-time care collaboration platform. Their product is improving patient care outcomes and lowering costs as it simultaneously connects disparate systems, closing communication gaps in local communities.

Collective Medical’s platform integrates alongside EHRs and health information exchanges, improving clinical decision making and empowering caregivers to impact care outcomes outside their walls. A nationwide network comprised of thousands of hospitals and health systems provide real-time data, which tells providers where their patient is located, why they are being seen, who else is treating them, and what risks exist, if any, that can be avoided.

Having access to this kind of information has proven to streamline care transitions, improve coordination, and reduce unnecessary length of stay and admissions. It is also revealing areas of further need.

“The pandemic highlighted the need for more behavioral health and substance use disorder resources in the ED and beyond,” says Andrew Reeve. “We made sure all of our existing clients and the market at large knew that the Collective Platform could help these patients and the clinicians that care for them with real-time notifications across all care settings.” ■
