Differences in quality indicators of emergency care between on- and off-hours at Ghanaian district hospitals
There were limited differences in performance of quality indicators between on- and off-hours, indicating a general consistency of quality of care across daily and weekly cycles. However, most indicators were performed in <80 % of patients. Monitoring of quality indicators of emergency care should be done more consistently as a way to standardise care and improve patient outcomes.
