A physician-owned practice, EMA has a rich history of innovation and successful partnership with some of the most renowned, highly regarded hospital systems in the nation. Since its creation in 1971, EMA has maintained all of its contracts, demonstrating our commitment to both our hospital partners and their communities.
“EMA has done an excellent job of aligning their performance metrics with our initiatives.”
EMA's Hospital Medicine providers play a critical role in the success of their Inpatient and Observation service lines by working closely with the Emergency Department and medical staff, creating efficient workflows. We work closely with hospital administrators to optimize length of stay, resource utilization, quality metrics and HCAHPS performance.
“Our board-certified hospitalists recognize the importance and value of creating trusting relationships with each and every patient.”
Providing pediatric services offers a powerful way to build trust with patients and families that will result in long-term relationships with the hospital. EMA has been providing high-quality pediatric emergency medicine and pediatric hospital medicine throughout the DC region for decades.
“EMA pediatricians are trained to care for your child in a kind and gentle manner. Our teams take great pride in providing care that is tailored to the needs of pediatric patients using the latest best practices and pediatric equipment.”
Leading the charge in value-based medicine, EMA recognizes the emergency department is not always the most appropriate or cost effective location for patients to receive medical care. Demonstrating this concept, EMA has partnered with a number of facilities to provide physician and mid-level staffing within the urgent care setting. Our goal is to provide urgent care facilities with high quality, high efficiency providers that differentiate themselves in a service line that sometimes struggles with provider quality and continuity of standards.
“Staffing both the ED and hospital-affiliated urgent care centers allows our team to strengthen the bond between two key points of entry in the hospital system. ”
Many groups laud the concept of "care continuum," often touting the sense that they are able to staff both the emergency department and hospital medicine program. What's missing from that equation is critical care medicine. EMA's critical care service line provides 24/7 coverage of our hospital partner's intensive care units and house-wide consultation. Our providers are board-certified, fellowship trained and industry leaders in their field. EMA recognizes there are vast efficiencies when the care continuum is truly a team effort.
“Our fellowship-trained critical care physicians and nurse practitioners work collaboratively with our ED and hospitalist partners to create a rare but extremely rewarding continuum of care. ”
In coordination with EMA's expansive pediatric service line, our team of board-certified, fellowship trained neonatologists provide physician coverage of the neonatal intensive care unit in addition to hospital-wide consultation and attendance at deliveries. With over 20 years' experience in this service line, EMA has a demonstrated ability to scale and meet the dynamic landscape and needs of neonatal medicine.
“Caring for both the NICU and high risk deliveries within the hospital, our team is available 24/7 in house to deliver the highest standard of Neonatal care. ”
EMA proudly employs several nationally recognized sports medicine experts, including Dr. Ellen Smith, who has developed comprehensive emergency department sports medicine programs across the country. Given the high pediatric volume in and around the DC metro region, EMA believes sports medicine to be a key cog in our array of pediatric services. Utilizing EMA's advanced analytics department we can tailor a sports medicine program to the primary and secondary service areas of our hospital partners.
“Our physicians have the resources and tools to deliver high quality sports medicine when your family needs it most. ”
Patients access our experienced team of 100+ doctors from anywhere and without the need for an in-person visit through their computer or mobile device—allowing you to reserve in-office visits for more complex issues.

Our leadership can provide you with a detailed, confidential presentation.
Whether it’s achieving 100 percent core measure compliance or the top decile patient satisfaction score in the nation, EMA consistently delivers top performance to its hospital partners.
From digital billing to electronic charge capture to safer sign-out, EMA leads the way in bringing healthcare innovation to its hospital partners.
We get it: advanced data analytics are the future of every successful healthcare operation; let our team support yours.
Our physicians play active leadership roles in all of our hospital partnerships, serving on the health system board of directors, hospital board of directors, or as chief of the medical staff.
From hiring the best talent to leadership development programs, EMA continuously invests in its great resource —our providers.
Having served our region continuously since 1971, we are very proud of our commitment to our community and our hospital partners.
Lauded as one of the nation's leading patient safety groups, our initiatives have received national support and have been adopted in hospitals worldwide.
Our group performance outshines each of the state averages in all of the publicly reported "Length of Stay" measures for our locations.
