Measuring the quality of care in emergency departments requires tools to quantify the most important aspects in the care process. The quality indicator is the quantitative measure used in quality assurance. ⋯ The quality indicators are useful in measuring concrete and specific aspects of clinical care and in providing information on quality. The indicators provide valid, reliable and objective information. The indicator is an early warning sign to identify areas requiring improvement and allows appropriate measures to be taken to correct the detected deficiencies. The use of indicators allows comparisons with uniform criteria to be made.
