BEC Emergency Systems
BEC provides best evidence clinical content and charting solutions to emergency department nurses and physicians. Our goal is to optimize the utilization of best evidence knowledge at the point of care. BEC supports the early adoption of best evidence clinical content through the innovative use of charting solutions that are intuitive and fun to use. BEC helps ED's (emergency departments) become more productive, provide high quality care, reduce error occurrence and improve the health outcomes of patients. BEC content facilitates both lifelong learning and clinical research. BEC Emergency Systems Inc. is a privately owned Canadian company incorporated in 1999.
Δ TopBEC Resources
BEC content is the result of 15 years of research and ongoing development by a team of emergency nurses and physicians. The principal interests of the development team are in the fields of surveillance, ED informatics, and evidence-based medicine. Publications by team members have appeared in Academic Emergency Medicine, Annals of Emergency Medicine, Canadian Medical Association Journal, the Canadian Journal of Public Health and JAMA. Team members have also contributed to the Cochrane Collaboration.
The first BEC product was a paper-based template charting system that was used to document care in over 400,000 patient encounters. Based on client feedback and ongoing research, the content from this paper-based system has been converted into both a print on demand product and a sophisticated electronic charting tool.
Δ TopCEO Profile
