Emergency Department
An emergency department (ED), also known as an accident and emergency department (A&E), emergency room (ER), emergency ward (EW) or casualty department, is a medical treatment facility specializing in emergency medicine, the acute care of patients who present without prior appointment; either by their own means or by that of an ambulance. The emergency department is usually found in a hospital or other primary care center. Due to the unplanned nature of patient attendance, the department must provide initial treatment for a broad spectrum of illnesses and injuries, some of which may be life-threatening and require immediate attention. In some countries, emergency departments have become important entry points for those without other means of access to medical care. The emergency departments of most hospitals operate 24 hours a day, although staffing levels may be varied in an attempt to reflect patient volume.

It has features in common with accountable care organizations in the United States. England Accountable care systems were organisations in the English NHS which in some respects are intended to replicate the features of the American accountable care organization. They were defined by NHS England as an area ‘in which commissioners and providers, in partnership with local authorities, take explicit collective responsibility for resources and population health’. After a great deal of hostility to the use of the term it was announced in February 2018 that these organisations were in future to be called integrated care systems, and that all the 44 sustainability and transformation plans will be expected to progress in this direc ...
