Research approach – A scoping study was completed and involved observations (36 hours of ride-outs and 4 hours of sit-ins) and semi-structured interviews with a group of ECPs and Triage Nurses at an ambulance control room. A subject matter expert was consulted to validate a communication map derived from the observations and interviews. Findings/Design – The results show that system’s factors could affect the creation of SA and decision-making. As a result, a framework for SA and decision-making among ECPs was developed. Originality/Value – This study extends the study of SA into emergency medical services domain. It also contributes in understanding a new practitioner role in the UK. Take away message – Factors related to the development of SA should be understood to support decisionmaking among ECPs and thereby improve the quality of care in emergency medicine. 2009-06-23 Conference or Workshop Item NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/9670/1/ewic_ndm09_s4paper1.pdf Abd Hamid, Harris Shah (2009) Situation awareness to support decision-making among emergency care practitioners.
