This book presents an advanced systematic mapping review (SMR) and
state-of-the-art taxonomy of emergency departments (EDs). Focusing
on the patients' level of fulfilment and how it can be enhanced, it
examines existing problems like waiting periods and overcrowding
and how these can be alleviated to provide a better service. The
author examined research papers from 1964 to 2018, and developed
six research questions, organising them using mapping studies, the
primary objectives of which were firstly, to obtain a common
understanding of the problems that need to be highlighted in EDs,
and secondly, to re-analyse the methods used. Focusing on quality,
the book encourages citations of experimental methods from
important studies concerning EDs that can improve services. Through
different research papers, various thematic areas in the healthcare
sector were examined, like the determination of the relative
efficiency of pre-discharge interventions; the analysis of care and
managing common indications during the last stages of life; using
e-Health to enhance effectiveness and proficiency; the seriousness
of patient differences among EDs; the identification of quality
problems in healthcare contexts; existing opportunities and the
suggested plans. The book concludes that an analytical
decision-making process should be used to assess a health
technology on the basis of its performance. It stresses the
importance of updating this analytical system frequently.
