Based on reviewing the relevant literature, the researcher determined a set of hypotheses; of the most important ones of these hypotheses are the effect of evaluating emergency department performance in patients and clients' satisfaction, and in an attempt to test these hypotheses, the descriptive analytical method is used, where an international checklist is constructed to evaluate the performance of emergency departments in the studied Iraqi public hospitals that included (13) criteria that are divided into (360) questions, and a scale for patients' satisfaction with the health care services delivered at emergency departments in the Iraqi public hospitals and it includes (16) aspects that are divided into (60) questions. The study is conducted in the emergency departments in four public hospitals in Baghdad city that are : Imam Ali Public Hospital, Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Al - Karkh Public Hospital, and Al - Kadhimiyah Teaching Hospital.
