The Hospital Emergency Response Team concept, as outlined here and in the Multi-Casualty Incident Operational Procedures of the California Fire Chiefs Association, is the result of a consensus effort by all EMS interest groups in Los Angeles. It is an effective way to utilize the skills of emergency medical personnel at the scene of a disaster. The role of the physician is an important one, and this concept was specifically designed to maximize the benefit to be derived from having a physician at the scene. It is important, however, that physicians recognize their limitations; a medical degree does not automatically confer “mystic abilities”in the area of disaster management. The role of the physician should include pre-disaster planning and at-scene patient management responsibilities as a member or leader of a pre-designated hospital-based emergency medical response team.

This study aimed to determine the source of complaints about the poor usability and lack of fit between rapid response documentation screens and rapid response (RR) processes. A modified Contextual Design research approach was implemented to explore RR processes and the congruence between these and RR documentation screens. Participants were 15 consenting clinicians from an orthopaedic ward, a rapid response team and an Intensive Care Unit. Results show that RR team documentation screens do not support clinical work that is integrated, iterative and ongoing. The relaxation of conceptual and EHR technological constraints may facilitate more effective support for clinical work.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to gain understanding of how young consumers with varying cultural and linguistic backgrounds experience and perceive humorous Business English lingua franca (BELF) mediated communication used in transit contexts.Design/methodology/approachFor the collection of qualitative data, the present study relies on focus group discussions in three European countries. The data were analyzed by the authors by applying the phenomenographic approach as a method.FindingsYoung European consumers expressed a preference for humor and playfulness in BELF-mediated communication, yet they can be a challenging group to be informed and entertained with humorous BELF communication, as they differ in their taste of humor due to varying language- and culture-based identities. However, BELF as a communication tool was seen as functional and unproblematic by the informants. These informants perceive the role of resonant – wit type of humor in BELF – messages with noncultural references as fulfilling some of the aims of the messages. Yet, the role of comic – wit humor in BELF – messages with cultural references is more challenging to interpret.Originality/valueThe present results bring original viewpoints on the use of humor in cross-cultural corporate communication via a unique perspective of how young consumers' perceive and value humor in BELF-mediated communication.
