This article reflects the proceedings of a breakout session, "Beyond ED Categorization-Matching Networks to Patient Needs," at the 2010 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference, "Beyond Regionalization: Integrated Networks of Emergency Care." It is based on concepts and areas of priority identified and developed by the authors and participants at the conference. The paper first describes definitions fundamental to understanding the categorization, designation, and regionalization of emergency care and then considers a conceptual framework for this process. It also provides a justification for a categorization system being integrated into a regionalized emergency care system. Finally, it discusses potential challenges and barriers to the adoption of a categorization and designation system for emergency care and the opportunities for researchers to study the many issues associated with the implementation of such a system.
这篇文章反映了 2010 年学术急诊医学共识会议“超越区域化：急诊护理综合网络”中一个名为“超越 ED 分类-匹配网络以满足患者需求”的分组会议的会议记录。它基于会议的作者和参与者确定和开发的概念和优先领域。本文首先描述了理解急诊分类、指定和区域化的基本定义，然后考虑了这一过程的概念框架。它还为将分类系统集成到区域化的急诊护理系统中提供了依据。最后，它讨论了采用急诊分类和指定系统的潜在挑战和障碍，以及研究人员研究与实施此类系统相关的许多问题的机会。
