Specialty physician back-up coverage for the ED is a critical issue in today's healthcare environment. While hospitals are ethically and legally required to have a full call panel of specialty services, increasing malpractice costs and rising financial risk have caused physicians to be less eager to take call. EACMC (EA) develops and manages the systems that hospitals need to compensate physicians for providing patient care while on emergency department call. Our core product is one that is simple and cost effective for the hospital. It is satisfying for physicians and encourages ED call panel participation.
