Abstract Background: Enhancing collaboration between paramedics and nurses is fundamental for improving patient care in emergency departments (EDs). This study measures the effectiveness of collaborative care on patient outcomes in a tertiary hospital.

Methods: The study used a mixed-method approach involving a retrospective observation study of 500 cases and semi-structured interviews with 20 healthcare workers (10 paramedics and 10 nurses). Quantitative aspects included the time to intervention, length of stay, mortality and readmission rates, while qualitative aspects covered interprofessional collaboration issues.

Results: Collaborative care cases demonstrated better results, including shortened time to intervention (p < 0.001), reduced ED length of stay (p = 0.003) as well as lower mortality (p = 0.045) and readmission (p = 0.029) rates. Qualitative results revealed the following main constructs: appreciation of communication, collaborative decision-making, and teamwork orientation. Participants underscored that sharing real-time information, decision-making and role allocation were crucial for effective teamwork.

Conclusion: Collaboration of nurses and paramedics enhances patients’ outcomes in emergencies. These outcomes could be further improved through the incorporation of organized role differentiation and interprofessional education.
