The Importance of Culture in Emergency Departments
The culture within emergency departments (EDs) plays a crucial role in determining staff engagement and overall departmental effectiveness. A staggering 70% of medical professionals feel disengaged, and over half contribute little outside their clinical obligations. To cultivate a high-functioning ED, a positive culture is imperative, encompassing individual and team skills, administrative practices, and a shared ethos.
