Non-technical skills evaluation in the critical care air ambulance environment: introduction of an adapted rating instrument - an observational study.
In the isolated and dynamic health-care setting of critical care air ambulance transport, the quality of clinical care is strongly influenced by non-technical skills such as anticipating, recognising and understanding, decision making, and teamwork.
