Abstract
Background: The number of emergency medical service (EMS) calls in Germany is continuously increasing. The initial assessment, the pre-hospital care and the choice of hospital for further care by the EMS influences the patient's outcome and are the basis for further care in hospital. However, the EMS does not receive any official feedback on its decisions.
Objectives: This study evaluates the demand for a feedback system from the emergency department (ED) to the EMS, what it should contain, and how it could be integrated in the electronic clinical systems.
Methods: A semi-structured interview guideline for expert interviews with members of EMS staff (n = 6) and ED staff (n = 17) was developed. A mockup to visualise a possible implementation was designed and included in the interview.
Results: There is a significant demand for feedback on pre-diagnosis, pre-hospital care and handover of patients from the EMS to the ED. The EDs are very interested in improving the collaboration with the paramedic services through feedback.
Conclusion: A feedback system is strongly desired by various EMS stakeholders and, according to them, could improve both EMS and ED collaboration and overall patient care.
期刊介绍：
This book series was started in 1990 to promote research conducted under the auspices of the EC programmes’ Advanced Informatics in Medicine (AIM) and Biomedical and Health Research (BHR) bioengineering branch. A driving aspect of international health informatics is that telecommunication technology, rehabilitative technology, intelligent home technology and many other components are moving together and form one integrated world of information and communication media.
