Patients entering the ED resuscitation room came in either directly, following a pre-alert by the ambulance crew, or following triage to that area once they had arrived in the ED. Following a verbal handover by ambulance staff (to either triage nurse or resuscitation team if present), the patient report form is accessed by the ward clerk responsible for booking the patient in, and the team treat- ing the patient. A summary of the triage handover is re- corded in the appropriate section of the ED notes.
