Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Patient handover is a critical juncture between pre-hospital and hospital care.
  • Effective communication during patient transfer is essential for patient safety and continuity of care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the process of patient reporting and handover to emergency wards.
  • To highlight the active, nurse-oriented nature of patient reception.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the patient handover process from ambulance personnel to emergency ward staff.
  • Focus on the transfer of oral and written information.

Main Results:

  • Patient handover is an active, nurse-driven process, not merely a passive reception.
  • Preparatory information from ambulance services is key to effective hospital reception.
  • The process involves transferring both oral and written patient data.

Conclusions:

  • Successful patient handovers are vital for seamless transitions between care settings.
  • This process facilitates ongoing patient evaluation and treatment continuation in the hospital.
  • Nursing plays a central role in managing and executing effective patient handovers.
