WMC EMERGENCY
Provider
From practice for practice.
A well-organized emergency department is unfortunately a rarity. The reasons for this are diverse and manifold.
While in some places the emergency department lacks the necessary internal attention, in many hospitals there is an additional spatial problem. This is where WMC EMERGENCY comes into play – with comprehensive knowledge and clear goals for sustainable success.
Current Challenges
Overcrowded emergency departments are one of the biggest problems in German hospitals. The daily collision of elective and emergency patients makes care a major challenge for nurses and doctors. Furthermore, the G-BA resolution for graduated emergency care requires a rethinking in many areas of hospitals – thus placing emergency departments at the center of medical care.
We support you with state-of-the-art emergency department concepts, whether for existing facilities or new construction planning.
Emergency Departments: Problem Children in Healthcare
The solution lies in increasing efficiency.
Those who reorganize the processes in the emergency department benefit on many levels: in terms of quality of care, patient satisfaction, and employee retention in times of skilled labor shortages, and last but not least, economically. While revenue increases in elective areas are hardly achievable anymore, there is almost always room for improvement in the emergency department.
For us, modern emergency departments and occupancy management go hand in hand. Stagnant discharge processes on the wards, exhaustion of treatment capacities, or time-consuming bed allocation can only be truly improved through modern occupancy management.
ESI Triage as a central element of efficient process control for modern emergency departments
A structured initial assessment is a central component of modern emergency care. By applying the Emergency Severity Index (ESI), patients who require clinical emergency care can be identified early – as well as those who are better served in outpatient care. This makes ESI a central component at the initial assessment points, as envisioned in the emergency care reform.
At the same time, ESI supports structured prioritization and resource allocation in internal clinical processes – for more transparency and targeted emergency care.
We offer comprehensive implementation of the ESI triage system in three coordinated phases:
Triage training for all relevant professional groups
Closely monitored implementation period with individual process support
Training of ESI instructors to enable sustainable internal training structure and quality assurance
With our expertise, theory becomes a functioning system – individually adapted to the processes of your emergency department.
Practical Example: Central Emergency Department
An efficient and well-organized emergency department serves economic efficiency as well as satisfaction of employees and patients. The video shows what this can look like in practice.
Our Solutions
The following concepts, developed and tested over many years by emergency medicine expert Dr. med Tim Flasbeck, form the focus of our solutions:
Quick check
An assessment of the current situation in your emergency department regarding future viability and G-BA conformity.
Spatial concept
Further development of existing spatial structures or planning of cost-efficient new buildings based on the latest insights in emergency care.
Operational concept
Development of a G-BA-compliant operational concept including personnel requirements planning and organization, training for staff, implementation of a methodology for treatment prioritization (ESI triage).
Occupancy management
Introduction of modern occupancy management including the establishment of central bed management for emergency and elective patients, implementation of a defined discharge process, and use of bidirectional holding.
