ED overcrowding spurs interest in quality and credentialing issues
Hospitals.
.
Abstract
Quality in emergency medicine is not a new concept. But applying quality principles to emergency department operations is another thing altogether. While the JCAHO and the American College of Emergency Physicians are examining quality issues in emergency medicine, individual hospitals are looking for solutions to the quality question. And they are accepting the reality that hiring and retaining high-quality physicians remains a key element.
