"The
mission of the Department of Emergency Medicine is to provide the
highest quality adult and pediatric emergency patient care, education,
and research."
|
|
Shared values cover the areas of patient care, research, and education.
We believe that our patient care should be compassionate, cost-effective,
comprehensive, timely, appropriate, evidence based, interdisciplinary,
respectful, and responsive.
Our facility should be attractive, clean, safe, convenient, accessible,
comfortable, efficient, and operational at all times.
|
|
| Our
personnel should be professional, dedicated, accountable, responsive,
committed, patient focused, communicative, qualified (specialty trained,
certified, experienced, competent, cross trained), education oriented,
research oriented, and team oriented. Logistical support should be
responsive, efficient, anticipatory, information driven, and cost-effective.
|
|
Communication
should be responsive (to patients, families, employers, insurers,
referring physicians, primary care physicians, consultants, pre-hospital
providers, staff, and community), convenient, respectful, professional,
ethical, confidential, and frequent.
|
| Our
quality management should be effective, efficient, timely, proactive,
multidisciplinary, and a shared responsibility of all health-care
professionals. Research should be relevant to emergency care, multidisciplinary,
collaborative, scientifically sound, ethical, and funded whenever
possible. |
| Our
educational programs should be multidimensional (including patients,
families, staff, undergraduates, postgraduates, and members of the
community), relevant to emergency patient care, interdisciplinary,
appropriate to our audience, accessible, ongoing, and current. |
