A lot can occur from the time you arrive on the scene to the time the patient is received at the hospital. It's critical that the emergency care team passes along all acquired information to the hospital for continuity of care. Describe your process and communication as you wrap up with a patient and hand over responsibilities to the hospital staff.

"It's very important that we conduct a thorough handoff of patients from our care to the hospital team. We first share the chief complaint along with signs and symptoms and vitals. We also describe the scene and any factors that could have contributed to the illness or injury, along with details of the rescue and treatment en route. A summary of their care interventions, patient responses, and other observations should be shared so the hospital receiving team has a full understanding of what's occurred up until then. We also make sure we answer all questions and get our documentation in order and signatures needed before departing."
