Background: In this study, we implemented an indoor positioning system to track the activities of healthcare professionals during their shifts in an emergency department, aiming to gain a better understanding of the emergency care production process.

Methods: An ultrawideband-based tracking system was used in an experiment at the emergency department of Le Corbusier Hospital in Firminy, France. Over a 46-day period, healthcare professionals, including assistant nurses, nurses, doctors, and managers, wore a sensor to record their location within the emergency department.

Background: We hypothesized that monitoring the volume of activity and overall performance indicators is not sufficient to understand the underlying differences between emergency departments. We aimed to understand the underlying common characteristics of emergency departments and map their typology in order to propose adaptive solutions, that would take into account territorial specificities and manage existing resources.

Methods: We applied a multifactorial analysis based on input data at three levels; 1) the health care available in the area surrounding the emergency departments, 2) the level of medical technicality of the hospitals and 3) the profile of emergency department visits.
