Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify the present handover status and the difference in performance and importance of handover between 119 paramedics and emergency department (ED) staff to improve the quality of handover.
Methods: The study involved a questionnaire survey of 171 paramedics and 108 ED staff in four regions from August 28 to September 23, 2020. Subsequently, 279 questionnaires were collected and 277 copies were used for this study. Data were analyzed by SPSS 26.0 version.
Results: The results showed that most of the paramedics and the ED staff rely on memory and verbally handover, without formal education about the handover process. And there were significant differences in performance in important information of prehospital. Some of the handover items were a difference in performance and importance between the paramedics and the ED staff.
Conclusion: The unified education based on required and optional items is necessary to reduce the loss of information between the paramedics and ED staff, and standardized tools need to be developed in the handover process.
