Among the policy measures implemented previously, he highlighted the work of Dr. \u00c1rp\u00e1d G\u00f3gl and Dr. K\u00e1roly Pik\u00f3, who at the time contributed to setting the new philosophy of emergency care into practice, establishing professional norms and starting the process of attitude-forming. He added that this area is a special sub-system of health care, which is still undergoing change.<\/p>\n
Dr. Antal S\u00e1sdi, member of the board of the Hungarian Hospital Association, said that the organization currently has 104 member hospitals, and the issue of emergency medicine has always been treated as one of special importance. He also noted that emergency care is one of the areas where financing is set to increase in the near future.<\/p>\n
The ambulance service plays an active role in emergency care, said Dr. Gy\u00f6rgy P\u00e1pai, the chief medical director of the National Ambulance and Emergency Service, adding that they are in close collaboration with the university\u2019s SBO. The ambulance service is the country\u2019s largest provider of emergency care, with its 8000 workers and 254 ambulance stations, thus they have to closely adapt to the hospital structure, he stressed.<\/span><\/p>\nDr. Tam\u00e1s Ber\u00e9nyi, the director of Semmelweis University Clinical Center\u2019s Emergency Department, presented in his speech the goals and origins of the Emergency Medicine Day, as well as the activities performed by emergency medicine. He noted that the European Society for Emergency Medicine (EuSEM) was established in London on May 27, 1994. The aim of the day is to unite the world population and decisionmakers to think and talk about emergency medicine and emergency medical care. He also said that it is part of the modern approach to acute care to be patient-focused instead of illness-focused, meaning that the care process should be organized around the patient. Dr. Tam\u00e1s Ber\u00e9nyi stressed that one of the great successes of Hungarian public policy is the introduction of the Hungarian Emergency Triage System, which guarantees the safety of patients. He revealed that at Semmelweis University\u2019s SBO, which is three years old this year, the number of patients has increased by 66% from the start. In addition to patient care, they also take part in graduate and postgraduate medical training, as well as organizing internal trainings and courses for health care professionals.<\/p>\n
As part of Emergency Medicine Day, an open day was held at the department, where visitors were shown the system and facilities of emergency care, and they could also take part in a practice simulation exercise and pose questions to emergency medicine professionals. As part of the afternoon program, organizers held a flashmob and a professional forum.<\/p>\n
