Anticipated Facilitators to Implementation
Aeromedical evacuation squadron (AES) crewmembers are largely in favor of the
SBAR checklist (Content Validation Expert Panel, personal communication, April 18,
2011). Most of the incident reports filed in the United States Transportation Command
(TRANSCOM) Regulating and Command and Control Evacuation System (TRAC2ES)
are created by AES personnel in reference to inadequate patient preparation, inadequate
or absent patient handoffs, and medication errors made by sending facilities (Bell &
Bradfield, 2010). HQ AMC is a huge proponent of this project since they made the
original request for a proposed solution for the increasing patient handoff issues.
