To date, nearly 60 countries have officially recognized EM as a medical specialty. However, growing patient demands, healthcare staff shortages, and an aging population have strained emergency departments, worsening working conditions for EM professionals and compromising patient care. To address these challenges, formal recognition of EM as a specialty is crucial.As a specialty, EM offers significant benefits. It improves patient outcomes by ensuring structured, standardized training that equips specialists with the skills to manage acute conditions such as trauma, stroke, and myocardial infarction. Countries with recognized EM specialties have reported reduced morbidity and mortality and enhanced healthcare resilience during crises like pandemics and mass casualty events. Additionally, professional recognition aids in recruitment, retention, and reducing burnout among EM practitioners by establishing clear career pathways. Furthermore, it ensures specific paraclinical training in areas such as patient flow, and it strengthens healthcare systems. However, despite these benefits, challenges remain. Resource diversion from primary care, increased healthcare costs, and the initial investment required for training programs are potential drawbacks to EM specialty recognition. Achieving EM recognition will require a strategic collaborative approach, focusing on education, professional support, and collaboration across healthcare sectors.</p>","PeriodicalId":49019,"journal":{"name":"Medizinische Klinik-Intensivmedizin Und Notfallmedizin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144054812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the COVID-19 pandemic, authorities set up lockdown measures and infection-prevention strategies to avoid an overburdened health-care system. In cases of situational overload of ICU resources, when transporting options are exhausted, the question of a tertiary triage of patients arises.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We provide data-driven analyses of score- and non-score-based tertiary triage policies using simulation and real-world electronic health record data in a COVID-19 setting. Ten different triage policies, for example, based on the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS II), are compared based on the resulting mortality in the ICU and inferential statistics.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Our study shows that score-based tertiary triage policies outperform non-score-based tertiary triage policies including compliance with the German Triage Act. Based on our simulation model, a SAPS II score-based tertiary triage policy reduces mortality in the ICU by up to 18 percentage points. The longer the queue of critical care patients waiting for ICU treatment and the larger the maximum number of patients subject to tertiary triage, the greater the effect on the reduction of mortality in the ICU.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>A SAPS II score-based tertiary triage policy was superior in our simulation model.
