The capabilities of individual hospital emergency departments participating in an emergency medical services system must be evaluated as the first step im improving the services in the region. By means of a weighted point-scoring method, personnel, facilities, equipment and organization can be assessed and the department categorized. This not only provides an evaluation of the present status of the department but also sets standards for improvement. Categorization provides the basis for regionalization of services, whereby each department has a defined responsibility to provide treatment of specified sophistication.
作为改善该地区紧急医疗服务的第一步，必须对参与紧急医疗服务系统的各医院急诊科的能力进行评估。通过加权计分法，可以对人员、设施、设备和组织进行评估，并对科室进行分类。这不仅能对科室的现状进行评估，还能为改进设定标准。分类为服务区域化提供了基础，据此每个科室都有明确的责任提供特定复杂程度的治疗。
