Emergency Department

The Emergency Department of Vall d’Hebron University Hospital is made up of a multidisciplinary team of professionals who care for people requiring an immediate medical response. It is distributed across different hospitals according to specialty: at the Hospital of Traumatology, Rehabilitation, and Burns, emergencies related to these areas are treated; at the Children’s Hospital and the Women’s Hospital, pediatric and gynecological emergencies are managed; and at the General Hospital, adult emergencies are handled. Care is provided according to the severity level of the patient, with specific areas for primary care, observation, and follow-up. In addition, continuity of care is promoted both within the hospital and in the community, fostering teamwork and the professional development of specialists.

The Emergency Department works to improve patient care and ensure continuity of care. Innovative projects have been implemented, such as the frailty program for chronic patients, with a specialized geriatrics team to reduce emergency stay and optimize patient management. The handling of critical patients has also been strengthened with improved protocols and close collaboration with the medical emergency system and specialized teams, such as those for ECMO resuscitation and transplants. All of this contributes to providing faster, safer, and more personalized care for each patient.
