Using I-PASS to improve nursing handoffs across the continuum of care at a tertiary oncology hospital [PDF]
BMJ Open QualityBackground Communication failures can cause medical errors that harm patients. Handoffs occur frequently every day—every time a patient is transferred from one nurse to another (eg, shift change, hospital location).

Evaluating observed and perceived experiences of operating room to paediatric critical care unit handoffs: an initial assessment to inform quality improvement [PDF]
Frontiers in PediatricsIntroductionTransferring critically ill patients from the Operating Room (OR) to the Paediatric Critical Care Unit (PCCU) is a complex process. Unstructured handoffs and poor communication increase the risk of adverse events.

Assessing the impact of a semi-structured intraoperative anaesthesia handoff cognitive aid on surgical patient outcomes: study protocol for a cluster randomised trial [PDF]
BMJ OpenIntroduction Intraoperative anaesthesia handoffs represent a risk point in the care of surgical patients. Although often necessary to prevent fatigue, improve vigilance and optimise operational efficiency, critical information can be lost, potentially ...

Performance of a cognitive load inventory during simulated handoffs: Evidence for validity
SAGE Open Medicine, 2016 Background: Advancing patient safety during handoffs remains a public health priority. The application of cognitive load theory offers promise, but is currently limited by the inability to measure cognitive load types.

Academy of Management Discoveries, 2017 While handoffs are usually defined as a transfer of something between people or things, we define handoffs as a relationship of similarity and difference between activities or events. By using the narrative network to operationalize this relational perspective, we discover a wider and more meaningful spectrum of handoffs and make it available for ...
