Emergency care is a treatment received in an emergency room or urgent care center for broken bones, strokes, heart attacks, stab wounds, being in labor, gun shot wounds, acute appendicitis, etc. After the initial diagnosis and immediate treatment of the condition, additional care received is no longer "emergency care".

Despite the life saving feats performed every day by emergency care departments and ambulance services, the nation's emergency medical system as a whole is overburdened, under funded, and highly fragmented, says this series of three reports from the Consult4care. Every day, hundreds of people arrive at the emergency departments of the hospitals.

Our emergency care services goal is to satisfy every customer's needs, either within the emergency department, by admission and immediate treatment as an inpatient or by appropriate referral elsewhere outside the hospital.

You might wonder what constitutes an emergency situation, how we handle the influx of emergency patients, or what happens when emergency room is swamped.
