There are currently no metrics for measuring population-level burden of emergency medical diseases (EMDs). This study presents an analysis the EMDs using two metrics: disease mortality rate (EDMR) and (EDB) per 1000 population at national, regional global levels.We used 1990 2015 Global Burden Disease Study morbidity data on 249 conditions in 195 countries. Thirty-one were classified as 'emergency diseases' based earlier published work. We developed indicators, one focused other (EDB)....

RTI surveillance is recommended to define burden, identify high risk groups, plan intervention monitor their impact. Despite its stated importance literature, very few examples sustained systems reported from This paper shares experience setting up an urban program emergency departments five major hospitals Karachi, Pakistan.We...
Early efforts to incorporate telemedicine into Emergency Medicine focused on connecting remote treatment clinics larger emergency departments (EDs) and providing consultation services EDs with limited resources. Owing continued ED overcrowding, some have used increase the number of providers during surges patient visits offer scheduled "home" face-to-face, on-screen encounters. In this study, we in "screening-in-triage" role.This study aimed compare efficiency safety in-person screening...
