• Abstract:

  Emergency Management is defined as the process of organizing and administering the resources and responsibilities necessary to address all emergency situations, with a particular focus on preparedness, response and recovery. In practical terms, it can be said that good management translates into better execution of emergency services, considering that longer hospital stays pose risks to the patient and imply losses of important and limited resources. Among the points discussed as relevant is the screening and risk analysis procedure and critical procedures in the provision of health services, especially for pre-hospital care. Tools used based on specific criteria to determine the severity of symptoms and risks, using protocols to deduce the need and speed of intervention. Given the importance of debating the validity of the emergency service, the literature review method was used to understand the topic and describe hypotheses and expose debates about the impact of qualified management on emergency events and the daily life of the emergency room.
