"You see a problem. We see an opportunity"

There is no ‘typical’ day in emergency medicine whether it’s a case of a major incident involving many patients, the spread of a highly contagious disease or the 2 year old with an object stuck in his ear.

However every day, physicians face time and resource pressures which need to be overcome to achieve positive outcomes for the facility and the patient.

Every day in Queensland Health 4,228 emergency services are provided for non-admitted patients in acute public hospitals and 34,073 non-admitted patient services, including emergency services, are provided in acute public hospitals (from the Queensland Health website).

There are nearly one million attendances to a Queensland Health Emergency Department every year.

If you can see ways to create better efficiencies, improve standards and create best practice models to achieve exceptional results then QEMRF may be able to assist.
