Twenty paramedics with experience in urgent hospital transfers participated in this qualitative study. The data collected via individual interviews were analyzed using inductive content analysis.

The upper categories were grouped from six subcategories.

The upper categories were grouped from six subcategories.
Organizations should support and promote training related to urgent hospital transfers to enhance the quality of care and patient safety. Paramedics play a key role in successful transfer and collaboration, and thus the required professional competences and interpersonal skills should be addressed in their education. Furthermore, developing standardized procedures is recommended to enhance patient safety.
