“…The increasing body of literature revealed that infrastructure problems, lack of access to medical essentials, and failures to deliver appropriate technological support were the key issues faced by health care organizations during this period. Recommendations to improve emergency department efficacy were made by numerous authors [32,33], while others focused on investigating changes in the numbers of visits to emergency departments during the pandemic and the reasons and results of these changes [34,35].…”

The emergency medical services support the primary health care system. Hospital emergency departments (HEDs), which provide medical assistance to all patients in a state of emergency are of considerable importance to the system. When studying access to HEDs, attention should be focused on spatial relations resulting from the location of HEDs and the places of residence of the potential patients. The aim of the paper is to explain the level of spatial accessibility of HEDs and its changes as a result of organizational and spatial transformations of HEDs’ networks in Poland. The research was conducted within two time series, comparing the changes in the distribution of HEDs in 2011 and 2021. GIS techniques were used to measure the distances between emergency departments and places of residence. It was observed that the transformation of the spatial organization of the hospital emergency department network in 2011–2021 resulted in the overall improvement of the spatial accessibility of these facilities, reducing the distance between them and places of residence.

“…The mixed method approach captures the experiences and opinions of patients and doctors to improve communication and resource management [67]. Differences in the personal and clinical characteristics of patients whose emergency room care involved reported incidents highlights the need for a better understanding of incidents occurring in the emergency room in order to improve systems for high-risk patients [77].…”

Purpose:The research aims to understand the current state of knowledge on risk, quality improvement and resilience in the healthcare field, namely in hospitals emergency departments, in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. There is the need to valorize the emergency department role that has been underestimated even if it represents the most important linkage point between territorial healthcare assistance and hospital management. Methodology: The study adopted a systematic literature review approach to summarize existing evidence on managing quality improvement and risks in the healthcare field. Following the inclusion criteria, a total of 59 articles published between 2011 and 2020 were detected. The authors analyzed the bibliometric characteristics and classified the works into three main themes and four sub-themes (Service quality, composed of Effectiveness of quality improvement strategies and Medical scribes; and Risk management, including Handoff and crowding issues; Resilience). Findings: A cross-analysis of the themes highlights future research opportunities and managerial implications for professionals and academics and the development of interventions to enhance the value creation process in the healthcare ecosystem. Originality: This research emphasizes the need to invest in emergency department improvement for pursuing the patients' well-being.

There is the need to valorize the emergency department role that has been underestimated even if it represents the most important linkage point between territorial healthcare assistance and hospital management. The study adopted a systematic literature review approach to summarize existing evidence on managing quality improvement and risks in the healthcare field.

The authors analyzed the bibliometric characteristics and classified the works into three main themes and four sub-themes (Service quality, composed of Effectiveness of quality improvement strategies and Medical scribes; and Risk management, including Handoff and Crowding issues; Resilience). A cross-analysis of the themes highlights future research opportunities and managerial implications for professionals and academics and the development of interventions to enhance the value creation process in the healthcare ecosystem. This research emphasizes the need to invest in emergency department improvement for pursuing the patients’ wellbeing.
