QA Hospital A letter has been received from Mark Cubban with details of the hospital’s involvement in the national testing of the proposed urgent and emergency care standards. This testing was started at the end of May and will run for 6 weeks. The performance standards to be tested are:
· Time to initial clinical assessment in the emergency departments · Treatment within the first hour for critically ill and injured patients · Time in all A & E Departments · Increased use of same day emergency care
