Patient handovers from prehospital to emergency departments (ED) can be complex; involving critical patient care under the influence of high stress levels and carries the potential for loss of important contextual information. An intuitive and easy access to this information, can advantageously help ensure patient safety. The aim of this study was to design a dashboard prototype that visualizes data for the clinicians in emergency departments in acute care. Through observations at an emergency department, a dashboard design was conducted and evaluated. Six clinicians from two different emergency departments and three peers with experience from healthcare, were used as evaluators of the dashboard, by a cognitive walkthrough using a case-based simulation. This study found that the evaluators perceived the visualization of the patient information at the dashboard, as easily manageable and sufficient. Visualizing important contextual patient information at a dashboard, can be rewarding to the clinicians in the ED.
