Background:
In emergency trauma room, adequate preparation of all resources prior to the patient's arrival is essential to ensure optimal continuation of the treatment. Therefore, a good transfer of information between pre-hospital and hospital is very important, for example through networking technologies.
Objectives:
The aim is to identify what pre-hospital information is needed to ensure that all necessary resources in the ETR are optimally prepared for the incoming trauma patient.
Methods:
A qualitative, semi structured interview was conducted with physicians of ETR team at four trauma centers.
Results:
Physicians mentioned similar requests for pre-hospital information. The workflow in ETRs differed in alerting of team members and transferring of pre-notification information.
Conclusion:
Clinical needs for pre-hospital information for future development of support systems in the networking of accident site and hospital could be identified.
