Structural quality criteria of emergency departments in Vienna
A set of proposed structural quality criteria for emergency departments could be quantitatively assessed. While the published criteria and the observed infrastructure are largely consistent, there is significant potential for improvement in both the definition of the criteria and the criteria per se. The extent to which these structural quality criteria are useful for assessing the classification of tiered care models requires further studies in different regions.
