In any multispecialty hospital an emergency department exists. Role of emergency department is crucial as patient in critical condition like patient suffering from heart attack, accident case are admitted. The role of this department is to admit the patient, stabilize his condition and either discharge him or transfer to Intensive cardiac care unit (ICCU) / Intensive care unit (ICU) / Ward. It is expected that this time from admission of patient to stabilize his health should be minimized. The time by which patient has to stay in emergency department for stabilization or to get his health stabilize is an important parameter governing the performance of ED. This paper is an attempt to study the procedure followed in emergency department in the super spatiality hospital in central India and suggests improvement in it.
