Abstract

The German Action Alliance for Emergency Care (Aktionsbundnis Notfallpflege) is a multiprofessional independent network of interested experts in the field of emergency care and collaborating disciplines. The initiative is based on the assumption that, given the complexity and dynamics of clinical emergency care, a further professionalization of emergency care is essential. Due to its complexity, the emergency department is regarded as a high-risk area, in which the risk of error is increased compared to other areas of clinical care. Emergency care is understood as nursing, diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in the context of an acute disease, injury or deterioration of a chronic disease with the aim of improving the condition or at least alleviating symptoms. The implementation of quality assurance measures for defined medical and nursing services is a legal obligation in Germany. The recording of routine data in emergency rooms will provide a basis for comprehensive care research and quality management in emergencies. To ensure a high-quality emergency care in the future, emergency care in Germany must be strengthened. The Action Alliance for Emergency Care, therefore, calls for the recognition of the emergency departments as independent functional areas and the establishment of a specialist quota for emergency department professionals who have received specialist training.
