ATMIS AMBO

Why we use ATMIS AMBO for clinical handovers?

We tend to use ATMIS AMBO when handing a patient over to the hospital because it gives the doctors a clear, structured, and consistent way to pass on a critical patient's information quickly and safely. It is also really good to use during Mass Casualty Incidents (MCIs), or other high-pressure situations.
