ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Patient care in mass casualty incidents and disaster strongly demand a joint approach of all preclinical and clinical forces. OBJECTIVE: Special emphasis must be placed on immediate triage, establishment and preservation of transportability of high-risk patients and their clinical treatment as soon as possible. During limited mass casualties, the preclinical rescue station additionally serves as a buffer for patients, whereby in case of disaster, the focus on transportation of high-risk patients is imperative. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Primary care hospitals are a decisive part in the chain of medical supply and are confronted with great challenges, which demand detailed emergency plans and also repeated exercises. In planning and exercises, special attention should be given to the cooperation with the fire department and other medical services.

ABSTRACT

Aunque cada país tiene su propio sistema de emergenciassanitario, surgido en base a unas necesidades y recursosadecuados, todos coinciden en la creación de unaestructura de vehículos disponibles y atendidos por personalespecífico en materia sanitaria, bien remunerados o deforma voluntaria, que a través de una coordinación conjunta,atienden de la forma más rápida y eficaz posible a lapoblación necesitada para atenderla en el lugar algunos, yotros además, transportarla a un centro sanitario. Dichossistemas de emergencia responden habitualmente a estasnecesidades asistenciales y de trasporte y suelen estar coordinadospor unos centros a los que se accede en algunaspartes del mundo a través de un teléfono único como son el112 (Europa) y 911 (América). Según las políticas sanitariasde cada país, se ha configurado un modelo diferente de sistemade emergencias sanitario en cada región del mundo.Cada sistema está constituido a su vez por un perfil diferentede personal sanitario(AU)

The above mentioned systems of emergencyanswer habitually to these welfare needs and oftrasporte and are usually coordinated by a few centers towhich one gains access in some parts of the world acrossthe only phone as 112 (Europe) and 911 (America).According to the political sanitary ones of every country,there has been formed a model different from sanitary systemof emergencies in every region of the world. Every systemis construed in turn for a profile different from sanitarypersonnel(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Conocer las necesidades de salud que influyen en la satisfacción de los usuarios del Servicio de Urgencias Hospitalario (SUH) del Hospital de Elda. Métodos: El estudio se ha desarrollado mediante la técnica cualitativa de grupo focal. El análisis de la información obtenida en las dinámicas de grupo se realizó en base a dos variables: espontaneidad y coincidencia. Resultados: La mayor coincidencia de los grupos (100 por ciento) está en la importancia de un trato amable y cortés, una atención rápida inicial y la carencia de "especialistas" en Urgencias. Los usuarios pretenden recibir una atención sanitaria idónea y, a la vez, evitar las interminables listas de espera en los centros de especialidades. Las razones argumentadas para acudir, ante un proceso urgente, directamente al SUH fueron: fiabilidad en el diagnóstico de Urgencias, acceso a más medios técnicos y el hecho de que casi siempre les envien al hospital. Conclusiones: Se ha puesto de manifiesto que las expectativas, en general, son comunes a todos los grupos (pacientes, familiares y población general), pero que el orden o prioridad en que éstas se manifiestan es distinto según el grado de implicación en el proceso de enfermar y la posición del usuario dentro del sistema. Mientras que en el grupo de pacientes se mencionaba como principal necesidad el trato amable, cordial y humano, seguido de la información a familiares, las expectativas de la población general fueron ser atendido por especialistas, un cuidado de la intimidad y una rápida atención (AU)

ABSTRACT

Accuracy and speed are imperative when it comes to coding medical records. Completely automated approaches to coding are faster than human coders, but are they as accurate? To measure accuracy, a "gold standard" is required; however, establishing a standard for medical records coding is problematic given the inherent ambiguity in some of the coding rules and guidelines. This paper presents statistics regarding the variability amongst experienced coders and compares this variability with an automated system, LifeCode. The authors conclude that LifeCode is as accurate as the human coders used in this study and offers the potential for increased coding consistency and productivity.

ABSTRACT

Emergency medicine has emerged as a specific medical specialty for 30 years. To be efficient, the emergency clinician frequently needs the contribution of radiological examinations. This is the reason why emergency radiology has emerged as a new radiologic subspecialty. The aim of this paper is to review the recent history of emergency medicine and to summarize the present state of the radiological organisation for emergency care in the Western countries.

ABSTRACT

The Italian health care system is largely socialized, with priorities and policies established both nationally and regionally. Currently emergency medicine in Italy is practiced mainly by traditional specialists, such as internists and surgeons, and the scope of emergency medicine practice is not as broad as that seen in the United States. However, dedicated training programs in emergency medicine have recently been developed, and it appears that in the future, specially trained emergency physicians will be increasingly available. Emergency medicine is currently viewed as a sub-specialty of internal medicine, and it is unclear whether emergency medicine will be recognized as an independent specialty.
