EM Monthly: Quality Indicators in Emergency Medicine
Advancing Quality & Patient Safety in Emergency Medicine – Join the EUSEM Webinar
Since 2020, EUSEM has been leading an ambitious project to develop Quality Indicators (QIs) for Emergency Departments across Europe — from large urban centres to smaller rural units. With wide variations in practice across the continent, the goal is clear: drive consistency, improve quality of care, and enhance patient safety for every patient, everywhere.
Now, it’s time for an important update — and you’re invited.
Join this exclusive webinar to hear directly from the EUSEM team and international experts as they share:
- A breakthrough methodology using a novel Delphi process
- The top 20 Quality Indicators identified for EDs across Europe and beyond
- Insights from an ongoing systematic review building the evidence base
- Practical perspectives on improving patient safety in emergency care
Designed for clinicians in Emergency Medicine, this session will equip you with knowledge you can apply immediately in your own practice.
What you’ll gain from attending:
- A clear understanding of the innovative Delphi approach used to define the QIs
- Awareness of the 20 key indicators shaping the future of ED performance
- Insight into how evidence is being systematically evaluated
- A deeper appreciation of critical patient safety challenges
