Approaches to Improving Nursing Handoffs in Surgical Wards

open access: yesOpen Journal of Nursing, 2017
Objective: To propose approaches to improve nursing handoffs for surgical patients, including standardization. Background: Handoffs, or the transfer of accountability and patient information, can generate potential risks for patient safety ...

Systematic Review of Intraoperative Anesthesia Handoffs and Handoff Tools

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2021
Intraoperative handoffs between anesthesia clinicians are critical for care continuity. However, such handoffs pose a significant threat to patient safety. This systematic review synthesizes the empirical evidence on the (a) effect of intraoperative handoffs on outcomes and (b) effect of intraoperative handoff tools on outcomes.

Optimal handoff control: incorporating handoff delay

2000 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference. Conference Record (Cat. No.00TH8540), 2002
The design of handoff algorithms for cellular communication systems based on signal-strength and distance measurements is studied within a hybrid system framework. It is shown that a previously proposed algorithm which trades off between the expected number of handoffs and the expected number of signal degradations suffers from excessive handoff delay.

Priority handoff analysis

IEEE 43rd Vehicular Technology Conference, 1994
A correct boundary condition of terminal mobility, called the biased sampling formula, is derived. The biased sampling formula is used in determining the speeds of cell-crossing terminals. Based on this formula, a different analysis approach with low computational complexity and high accuracy is proposed.

Handoff in cellular systems

IEEE Personal Communications, 1998
Handoff is an essential element of cellular communications. Efficient handoff algorithms are a cost-effective way of enhancing the capacity and QoS of cellular systems. This article presents different aspects of handoff and discusses handoff related features of cellular systems.
