The present study investigated the emergency consultation computerized system designed for prompt and accurate communication can shorten the time for consultation care. In addition, we tried to confirm how users’ satisfaction with communication for emergency consultation changed before and after using the system. @*Methods@#: We divided the period from arrival to exit of the emergency department into 4 stages, and the time taken for each stage was measured. In addition, the present study conducted a satisfaction survey on the convenience and accuracy of communication among users. @*Results@#: After using the computerized system, the median value of time for emergency consultation treatment decreased significantly from 78 minutes to 39 minutes (p<0.001). In terms of communication convenience, more than two-thirds of the users responded positively. @*Conclusion@#: The system that computerized the initial communication shortened the time required for emergency consultation and increased satisfaction in terms of convenience of communication between medical staff.
