The problem
The questions every ED clinician asks on their first shift
Every emergency department runs on local knowledge. Most of it lives on an intranet nobody can reach from the floor, in shared drives, group chats, printouts and people's heads.
What can we admit here, and what do we transfer out?
Which service takes this patient: medicine, cardiology or surgery?
Who is on for neurology tonight, and how do I reach them?
What do we do here for new-onset AF?
Can we keep chest pain in obs, or do we arrange outpatient follow-up?
Where is the chest drain kit?
Every ED answers these differently. Eolas makes sure everyone in yours gets the same answer.

Your department's answer, wherever the shift takes you
01
Ask, don't search
Clinicians ask in plain language and get your department's answer with the source pathway attached, in under 10 seconds. Time-critical pathways (stroke, sepsis, major hemorrhage, trauma activation, STEMI) are pinned to the top. Works offline in resus and in basements with no signal.

02
Admissions and referral guide
One searchable guide for which service takes which patient, built with your specialty teams. Agree it once, publish it, and end the 3 a.m. debate about who should admit. At one US academic medical center the guide has grown to more than 380 entries and is written into hospital admissions policy as the official word on where a patient goes. Consulting services now download the app themselves, and residents train their own interns on it.

Who's on call, right now
Eolas syncs with your rostering system so the on-call list is always current. Search by specialty and see who is on, their role, and how to reach them, then tap to call or page. No switchboard, no outdated schedule printout on the wall.

Contact directory
Every number the ED needs in one place: specialty teams, bleeps and pagers, wards, labs, imaging, transfer centers, poison center and external referral lines. Kept current by named owners, searchable from any device, and connected to the on-call list so the right person is one tap away.

Capture the knowledge that isn't in any policy
The most useful ED knowledge is tacit: where the IO drill lives, how to get a CT out of hours, which number actually gets answered. Eolas lets frontline staff submit tips and locations in seconds. Your named editors review and approve them before they publish, and approved local tips are clearly labeled separately from formal policy, so clinicians always know what they are reading. An equipment finder gives your team a searchable map of where kit lives in your department.
In one NHS emergency department, a timed equipment audit took 52 minutes without Eolas and 10 minutes with it, an 80%+ reduction.

Change practice in days, not quarters
Pin a new workflow to the top of the app, update it as often as you need, and every device reflects the latest version. Targeted notifications go only to the ED staff affected. One ED medical director piloted a new transfer pathway to a partner hospital, changing the criteria every couple of days, without a single all-staff email.
“When I change it, I don't have to tell anybody. I don't have to send out a new email to everyone.”

Standardize practice
The first step to improving a process is standardizing it. If some clinicians admit new AF, some rate-control and discharge, and some leave it to primary care, agree a pathway with cardiology, publish it, and the whole department follows the same approach. Gap analytics show you what your team searched for and could not find.

A shift in the ED
Three moments, one app
02:10
A second-year resident sees new AF with no anticoagulation. The attending says what they always say: check the app. The department's AF pathway is up in seconds.
03:40
A locum needs the on-call neurologist for a possible stroke. They search ‘neurology’, see who is on tonight, and tap to page.
05:15
A nurse needs the intraosseous drill. The equipment finder shows exactly where it is.
Alongside your EHR
Why not just build it in the EHR?

Eolas works alongside your EHR. External evidence tools answer what the literature says. Eolas answers how your department does it.
Adoption
How EDs make it stick
- 1
Start with the content people need every shift: admissions guide, on-call list and contacts.
- 2
Make it the only place for shift essentials: shift-type workflows, training, the department newsletter, equipment finder.
- 3
Make it official: write the admissions guide into policy so consulting teams use it too.
- 4
Let the team add what they know, with editors approving every tip.
For medical directors and ED leads
See what your team needs. Govern what they find.
See what your team searches for, where guidance is missing, which pathways are used most, and who has seen an update. Govern everything with named editors, approvers and review dates.

FAQ
Common questions
How do ED staff find the resus protocol without leaving the bay?
Eolas puts your department's own resus, triage and time critical pathways on the phone already in the clinician's pocket. There is no login hunt or shared drive to search, and the guidance is the version your ED approved, not a generic one.
Can we be sure everyone is using the current major hemorrhage pathway?
Yes. Eolas holds one approved version with a named approver, full version history and an automatic review date. When you update the pathway, the old one stops being findable, so nobody is working from a printout taped inside a cupboard door.
Can we upload our own protocols and guidelines, or is the content Eolas's?
The content is yours. Eolas holds your institution's own resus, triage and time critical pathways guidance, written and approved by your teams, with named editors, an approval workflow, full version history and automatic review dates. Eolas is the system it lives in, not the source of the clinical content.
Does Eolas store patient data?
No. Eolas holds your institution's guidance, not patient records. Access is controlled through SSO and role based permissions, with a complete audit trail of who changed what and when.
Does this replace our EHR order sets?
No. Order sets handle documentation and orders. Eolas holds the local knowledge clinicians need before they get there, and it can be updated in minutes.
How does the on-call list stay up to date?
Eolas syncs with your existing rostering system, so the list reflects the current schedule without anyone re-entering it. We confirm the connection to your system during setup.
If staff can add tips, how do you stop unsafe content?
Every staff submission goes to a named editor for approval before it is visible, and approved tips are labeled separately from formal policy.
Who maintains the contact directory?
Named owners in your organization, with review dates and an audit trail, the same as any other content.
