Abstract

Handoffs are an integral part of patient care and are defined as the transfer of responsibility and accountability of a patient(s). The Donabedian model is useful for examining the structure, process, and outcomes of handoff from a systems perspective. Examples of simulation methods to improve handoff communication within systems are not widespread however there is tremendous opportunity for organizations that have the experience and resources to implement change.
