Recommendations for improving preparedness of ED staff and facilities have been made for each of the problem areas identified with respect to clinical practice, equipment, communication and clinical process. Analysis of incidents from the Australasian Emergency Medicine Events Register allows clusters of like-events to be identified and characterised, providing the possibility of getting a better idea of how problems present and progress, with some information about contributing factors, characteristics and context. This will pave the way for earlier and better detection of life-threatening problems and the development and reinforcement of preventive and corrective strategies.

“…Therefore, increasing consultant numbers raises the possibility of FACEMs working extended hours and overnight shifts, particularly in busy major metropolitan EDs . While benefits for training and supervision, operational efficiency and patient safety support this, long‐term impacts on FACEM health, well‐being and job satisfaction should not be discounted .
