Handoffs Without Gaps
Captions available
The idea
A handoff is the transfer of responsibility for a patient from one clinician or team to another.
In practice
Communication failures between providers are a leading cause of preventable harm; good handoffs pair complete written information with a verbal report, free of interruptions.
Where people slip
At the end of surgery, the patient is handed off to the recovery nurse, a moment covered in unit twenty-six.
