[Organization of emergency medicine based on the frequency and severity of emergency conditions].
The spontaneous development of the organization and practice of emergency medicine created a number of types of emergency medicine units. Long time, these units were developed in out-hospital institutions such as health centres. Together with these services, all acute hospitals have had full day,s emergency services for definite care of urgent conditions. The authors give principles of this activity organization in the light of expected incidence and severity of urgent conditions related to the number of population which gravitate to particular hospital or other health services. Starting from the assumption that expected frequency of urgent conditions per 100 persons in 24 hours is between 0.50-0.75, the authors present the model of health care organization of such cases including family doctor, health station, health centre, hospital.
