What Human Concepts We Learn From Emergency Medicine Practice

This article aimed to provide the concept patterns obtained from the observations of a specialist in emergency medicine (EM) in the work setting. Some of these concepts in EM practice are expressed below. Leadership Emergency physicians (EPs) are leaders of emergency departments (ED) who have to manage operational issues affecting the patients, crews, nurses, and wards as well as help bed management supervisor. As we know, the EDs are high-risk areas in healthcare settings. Therefore, the improvement of leadership skills and increase awareness of employing human factors lead to the enhancement of patient safety. The EPs should be qualified to function as a team leader and manager. Since these non-technical skills are not involved in the medical courses, learning non-clinical skills are necessary for reducing the risk of errors [1].
