Summary

View source

What was studied

This scoping review protocol maps academic and gray literature on medication-related safety risks during transitions of care from EMS personnel to emergency department (ED) clinicians, following JBI methodology and PRISMA-ScR reporting standards.

Key findings

No results yet — this is a protocol paper describing the planned methodology; findings are forthcoming.

Study limitations

Protocol only — no data extracted or synthesized yet; restricted to English-language literature, which may exclude relevant international evidence; gray literature inclusion introduces variability in quality.

Clinical implications

Clinicians should anticipate future evidence on structured communication strategies to reduce medication errors at the EMS-to-ED handover. Until that evidence is available, attention to high-risk transition moments in the ED remains critical.
