“…In the German project HOspitalisations and eMERrgency department visits of Nursing home residents (HOMERN) we examined the health care of NHRs with a special focus on hospital transfers. The project used several data sources and methods like statutory health insurance data [34], questionnaire surveys with physicians and nursing managers [35] and cross-sectional data of NHs in Germany to analyze reasons for hospitalization. To gain further perspectives on this topic, this study aimed to explore how paramedics experience the transfer process of NHRs, generating ideas for interventions that aim to reduce hospital transfers in this setting.…”

Ebenso beeinflussen Unsicherheiten der Pflegekräfte bei der Identifikation, Kommunikation und dem Management von Zustandsveränderungen den Umgang mit Notfallsituationen und werden daher als Verbesserungsmöglichkeit benannt [ 14 , 25 ].…”
