All results were calculated using the mean score per item of a category or dimension.
Note. The follow-up measurement of the ED comprised 57 unique individual observations and 43 contemporaneous observations, for the baseline ICU these were 274 and 33 and for the follow-up they were 309 and 35.
*Too few contemporaneous observations were conducted during the baseline measurement to enable the interobserver reliability characteristics to be calculated.
†The SEM is calculated using the following formula: SEM=√(Variance_observer+ Variance_interaction+Variance_error).
ED, emergency department; EPOC, explicit professional oral communication; ICC, intraclass correlation coefficient; ICU, intensive care unit.
