Using Web-based Training and Low-fidelity Simulation to Provide Education and Support to Emergency Nurses Undertaking Non-Urgent Paediatric Inter-Hospital Transfers

Internationally, interhospital transfers are common (Mueller,  Zheng, Orav,& Schnipper, 2017) and patient transport services represent a substantial health expenditure in healthcare systems. Australian States and Territories spent $3.3 billion on patient transport services in 2019-2020 with an average annual growth rate of 5.8% over a 10-year period (Australian  Institute of Health and Welfare, 2021). The majority of patient transfers are of a nonurgent but essential nature with patients requiring transfer to access optimal services.
