Description
Giving report to safely handoff a patient to another nurse, either between shifts or as the patient moves to new unit is nothing new to most nurses and is considered routine in a typical workday The format for how information is shared has become more specific over time, as recommendations for safety and privacy have been applied Regardless of where, how or who does the handoff, the purpose remains the same: to ensure continuity of care and to safely transition the patient to the new care setting or new care provider. As routine as a report between nurses and units have become, the same is not true with handoffs between care settings Recently, the Colorado's Home Health Collaborative (1) conducted a quality review of handoff procedures for patients being transitioned in and out of home healthcare The conclusions from this work include the recommendation of the use of checklists to improve the quality and safety of patient transitions between levels of care Three checklist tools have been developed by the Collaborative for use by all care settings across Colorado and can be obtained by emailing Deb@ColoradoNursingCenter. org.
