Article Synopsis
- The study examines the handover process in emergency departments (ED) to evaluate its effectiveness in patient care, focusing on current practices from prehospital to ED settings.
- Nearly all handovers (99.4%) lacked proper structure and essential information, with significant issues in the transfer of vital signs and medical history.
- A standardized "hand-off bundle" is recommended to improve the quality of handovers, including a uniform system and educational initiatives for EMS staff.
