Technological Innovations in Emergency Department ServicesPerihan ŞİMŞEK1, Abdülkadir GUNDUZ2, Melih IMAMOGLU31Trabzon University2Karadeniz Technical University 3Rize State Hospital Technology has brought many innovations to the way healthcare providers acquire information, work and communicate. Emergency departments are the primary areas where these innovations are most common. One of the important innovations that technological developments offer to emergency departments is that imaging methods and diagnostic tests can be applied at the bedside. The main purpose of bedside imaging methods and diagnostic tests is to achieve rapid results and initiate appropriate treatment in a short time. The developing technology provides fast access to diagnostic tests and rapid results, as well as facilitating access to specialist physicians. Patients' data can be transmitted to advanced centers by telemedicine application, and consultation service can be obtained. Bedside consultation is also possible thanks to the telemedicine application supported by robotic technology. Biosensors, mobile applications, technological products used in the patient registration and follow-up process, and voice response systems used in patient monitoring after discharge can be listed among other technological innovations used in emergency departments. All these listed tools and systems provide many facilities for emergency service delivery. However, reasons such as being expensive, not supervised by medical professionals, or being time-consuming limit their use. While technological developments continue without slowing down, in order to ensure the same development in emergency departments, scientific studies with a high value of evidence are needed in this field.
