The Ausralian emergency medical system / 中华急诊医学杂志

ABSTRACT

The Australian emergency medical system has transformed over the last thirty years with the development of pre-hospital care services, hospital Emergency Departments and the development of new professional roles of Emergen-cy Physician and Paramedic. This transformation which has reflected those in many other countries has occurredbecause of increasing accountability by health services for the quality of emergency health care and increased pro-fessional commitment.
