The purpose of this study was to develop a standardized handover protocol for emergency nurses. A standardized handover protocol was developed through surveys on the perception of the existing handover method, literature review, and consultation with experts. After applying the newly developed standardized handover protocol to actual nursing practice, the effectiveness was evaluated through surveys and focus group interviews. As a result, statistically significant improvements were found in 'interaction and support' and 'efficiency', and positive aspects such as 'shortening time spent on handover' and 'reducing personal characteristics of nurses' were found via focus group interviews. On the other hand, improvement in 'quality of information' was not significant, and there were also 'concern for new handover methods'. In conclusion, it appears that the use of a standardized handover protocol can improve the efficiency while ensuring the quality of transmitted information. And ultimately this will reduce the potential risks for patients.
