The retrospective analysis of in-patients medical charts, ambulance accompanying talons and autopsy protocols of 543 patients who has succumbed during the first 24 hours after being admitted to Municipal Emergency Hospital №1 Kazan, Russia since January 1st, 2009 to December 31, 2011, was performed, emergency medical care on the pre-hospital stage was analysed. Results. The number of patients who got the out-patient care in the admission department of the emergency hospital has increased during the last several years, distracting admission department staff form their primary job and causing errors in medical care. The number of errors due to the medical care mismanagement can be estimated as 23.3%. Low staff qualification, lack of subspecialty consultations or councils and lack of case monitoring are among the reasons. Conclusion. Providing high quality medical aid in out-patients clinics would allow Emergency hospitals to focus on admitting and treating patients with life-threatening emergencies.
