Emergency medicine is the medicine provided by health professionals. They focus on the diagnosis and treatment of illness and injuries that need immediate attention medically.

It involves chronic care management where activities are conducted by health professionals to help patients with chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure etc. Patient safety is a new discipline that analyses, reports and prevents medical errors that lead to adverse events for patients.

A two tier system for health care is the one where both the government and private enterprises provide services. When services are offered by privately owned enterprises, the government is billed for patient’s care.
