Emergency Responses Teams: A Comprehensive Review of Social Work, Nursing, and Paramedic Contributions

Abstract

The role of emergency response teams is a key part of coping with acute and life-threatening situations in various healthcare settings. Complementary clinical, prehospital, and psychosocial skills are offered by nurses, paramedics, and social workers, which enhance patient safety, continuity of care, and clinical outcomes. The current review examines the personal roles of these professionals in emergency response models and highlights the importance of interprofessional cooperation. It further outlines such critical issues as role ambiguity, communication barriers, and lack of training in other disciplines. By integrating the known evidence, the review suggests new strategies that can be used to strengthen the teamwork and enhance the coordinated, holistic, and effective emergency care systems.
