Identifying emergency physicians’ strategies for mitigating workload transfers during end of shift patient handoffs – A qualitative analysis

Human Factors in Healthcare
In hospital emergency departments (EDs), emergency physicians (EPs) regularly handoff patients to one another at shift changes. While previous studies have focused on standardizing communication practices during handoffs, these efforts do not address how

Handoff Rate and Coverage Analysis in Multi-tier Heterogeneous Networks

, 2015
This paper analyzes the impact of user mobility in multi-tier heterogeneous networks. We begin by obtaining the handoff rate for a mobile user in an irregular cellular network with the access point locations modeled as a homogeneous Poisson point process.
