摘要：While many hospitals have converted to electronic medical records, emergency medical services continue to employpaper-based reports. Furthermore, existing research focuses on challenges of information systems from theperspective of nurses, doctors, and hospitals. Little is known about the paper-based challenges facing emergencymedical technicians. This study examined emergency medical technician’s paper-based reports for potential problemsthat may occur if the transferred reports are in an electronic format. Additionally, this study conducted interviews ofsix emergency medical technicians about perceived benefits from electronic transfer of patient information fortransferring patients. Results were positive as the emergency medical technicians liked to see a change from paper toelectronic transfer of information. Emergency medical technicians also thought it was difficult to write the reportwhile riding in the back of an ambulance, that information is lost during patient handover, and expressed a desire tofollow-up on transferred patients.
