Emergency Departments

Hospital and emergency department overcrowding, regionalization, diversion, bypass, staffing shortages, and funding cuts: these problems are as severe in BC as they are elsewhere in the country, and they are shaping the future of emergency medical services (EMS) (Wanger, 2000). As we take a look at todays health care system, we discover that the system is not functioning efficiently. One of the systems that have been under critical review is the service received in the Emergency Departments (ED).
