National Emergency Department Inventories (NEDI)

The National ED Inventories (NEDI) are ongoing surveys that contain data on all EDs in a specific country/state/city, including facility location and annual visit volume.  Each inventory was developed through collaboration of a Country/State/City Coordinator with EMNet staff.
