| Review Title: | Communication: Is there a standard handover technique to transfer patient care? |
| Abstract: | Perioperative handovers are a complex process that has the potential to lead to patient harm. The lack of standardization among team members present and information provided can lead to failure of communication of vital information. Standardization of the handover process can help mitigate potential errors, but must occur at the local, institutional level. In addition, the process of implementation of the standardized handover process must include measures to ensure sustainability of the initiative. Effective communication is critical to transferring patient care in a way that mitigates harm. © 2019 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved. |
