Approach
All four of these elements, working in unison, drive excellence in patient care in the emergent setting.
Emergency Skills and Knowledge
Without proficiency in the basic skills and procedures, no emergency team can provide adequate care.
Effective Provider Teams
Well-functioning teams are critical to the delivery of appropriate, timely and effective medical care.
Patient-Focused Care and Systems
Hospital systems such as record keeping, triage and evaluation must focus on the needs of the patient and be provided in a timely and professional manner.
Appropriate Equipment
Hospital emergency departments must have a basic set of drugs, equipment and supplies to provide adequate care.
