Safer Handovers From EMS to Emergency Departments

EMS2ED gives paramedics and emergency departments a shared view of critical patient information before arrival, so care teams are ready when seconds matter.

Handover is where information gets lost

When patients move from paramedic care to the emergency department, critical details can fall through the cracks. Verbal handoffs under pressure are fast, noisy, and hard to retain. EMS2ED fixes the gap.

How EMS2ED works

Structured data flows from the field to the department.
No phone calls. No repeated questions. No interrupted workflows.

Paramedic captures

Structured patient data is entered during transport using a clinician-designed interface.

→

ED receives early

The emergency department gets a pre-arrival summary with key clinical details, giving time to prepare resources.

→

Seamless handover

At arrival, both teams share the same structured record, reducing repetition, preventing information loss, and supporting continuity of care.
