Hospital Handover Summary

The one-page handover paramedics and ED clinicians actually want.

When a participant goes to hospital — by ambulance, by transfer, or by unplanned visit — the ED team needs to know certain things FAST. This is a one-page summary designed by someone who's been on the receiving end of the handover.

Print one for every participant, keep it on the front of their file, hand to paramedics on arrival. Bridges the gap between provider knowledge and emergency clinical care.
