Abstract

Hospitals and emergency departments have faced numerous challenges as they are considered the first line of defence when receiving patients. It also serves as the first detector of epidemiological conditions to which men turn when medical situations appear. In this regard, there are no Egyptian studies available for evaluating the emergency department. The research discussed the new requirements in workflow that necessitate an assessment of the status quo of emergency departments, especially in Egyptian hospital design. The study examined several emergency departments in Egypt. In this regard, the study discusses various methods and precautions taken in hospitals during epidemics, and an analytical study relies on a questionnaire in Egyptian hospitals. The study revealed the challenges and obstacles that emergency departments faced during pandemics and highlighted the importance of implementing effective strategies to improve their workflow and response to emergencies. The recommendations included enhancing communication, providing adequate resources, and developing contingency plans to ensure preparedness for future crises.
