Abstract

Historical development of emergency medical services at the University Hospital
Center Rijeka since inception 1984th year to date was reviewed. Over the years, the average
daily number of treated patients is steadily growing, as well as share of less urgent patients,
and the average duration and the extent of patient workup. The reason for this is the lack of
triage mechanisms before entering the hospital emergency department, as the nature of
the hospital emergency service is such that emergency cases cannot be easily distinguished
from non-urgent cases.
