Review and outlook on emergency care
However, a look at developments in emergency care also reveals exciting trends. According to an analysis by the Central institute for statutory health care The number of emergencies rose continuously from 2009 to 2019, with a particular increase in 2013. Interestingly, a decline in outpatient emergencies has been noted since 2016.
The situation remains unique during the corona pandemic, which led to a sharp decline in the use of all emergencies. Current statistics show that overloads in emergency rooms are often less related to increasing patient numbers than to staff shortages in medical care.
Given the ongoing challenges in healthcare, it is important that everyone involved, from administration to medical professionals, work hand in hand to continue to ensure emergency care.
