Emergency centers provided continuing medical education programs, however, this rate was only 24.67% and was not related to patient care quality assessment results. In terms of attitudes, most medical staff agreed with the importance of patient care documentation, as well as the role when this documentation was evaluated, and agreed with determining who performs and evaluation methods and quality. Regarding practice, evaluating the quality of patient care was mainly based on accumulated experience (25.75%) and skills assessment (23.58%).
