Do you mind me asking what hospitals or city you guys work in?

Hello Everyone this is my first post! I am trying to make a change in my hospital. I work at a 56 bed hospital and I work on a med-surg unit. Currently when we admit patients from the ED , the ED RN writes a SBAR note in the Electronic record and the Inpatient RN reads it and gives them the bed number. We have run into many patient safety issues. So What I would like to know from you guys is 1. where do you work 2. What type of handoffs to you get from the ED? is it verbal or not? 3. last who transports the patient to the inpatient room? is it the RN or a ED tech? Thanks so much for taking your time to answer! I am trying to get as many examples from as many hospitals nationwide as possible.
