Bigham et al. performed a 12 year literature review in order to identify EMS related threats to patient safety. Multiple factors negatively impacting patient safety included adverse events and medication errors, clinical judgment, communication, ground vehicle safety, aircraft safety, interfacility transport, and intubation. The authors suggest that interventions to modify behavior and provide closed-loop communication training reduced misunderstandings and encouraged staff to communicate concerns more readily.

Hand-off reports in hospitals have recently gained attention as a potential safety issue regarding overall patient care. This has been a particular concern in the acutely injured patient. There is a paucity of research regarding patient care hand-offs in a trauma center environment and as a result, little has been done to change this global problem. Hand-offs of trauma patients begin in the emergency department between pre-hospital providers and trauma center staff, and continue to the operating room, ICU, as well as other locations. As a result, patient assessment and critical information get lost along the way. After reviewing the literature, we have identified some important references and recommendations to improve trauma patient hand-offs.
