The Role of Emergency Department in Poland

Emergency Department
Emergency department (ED) is an organizational unit of the hospital, which is also a unit of the National Emergency Medical Service. Its task is to promptly provide health care services as part of initial diagnosis and the necessary treatment to stabilize the vital functions of persons in a state of sudden danger to life or health.

In addition to patients being transported by ambulances and aviation rescue units to the ED, anyone can be contacted even if they do not have a referral to the hospital. Help is provided to everyone regardless of their place of residence.

For a hospital to be able to set up an SOR, it must be able to protect patients within general trauma surgery, internal medicine, anaesthesia and intensive care units, imaging diagnostic laboratories, paediatric surgery and paediatrics- if the hospital provides medical services to children.
