EMERGENCY?
BEC stands for Best Evidence Charting. BEC Emergency
Systems Inc. is an emergency medicine software company
providing best evidence clinical content to emergency
departments worldwide.

support tools and best evidence clinical content

HISTORY
BEC Emergency Systems Inc. is a privately owned Canadian
company incorporated in 1999.
The first BEC product was a paper-based template
charting system that has been used to document care in
over 500,000 patient encounters. Based on client
feedback and ongoing research, the content from this
paper-based system has been converted into a
print-on-demand product, a sophisticated electronic
charting tool AND codified clinical content that can be
imported into any 3rd party EHR or CPOE system.

The CEO of BEC Emergency Systems Inc. is Dr. Gary Bota.
Dr. Bota is a graduate of McMaster University Medical
School and the UCLA Emergency Medicine residency
program. With over 25 years of emergency medicine
experience including 18 years as medical director of a
regional referral ED, Dr. Bota understands the
importance of providing solutions that support the
efforts of busy emergency nurses and physicians.
BEC content is the result of 20 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 among others. Team members have also
contributed to the Cochrane Collaboration.
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 EDs (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.
