House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)
Background
- Duty hour restrictions, cross coverage, and the growing number of mid-level practitioners has led to an increased number of handoffs across medical specialties
- These handoffs are well-known points of communication breakdown which can lead to patient safety issues
- Factors contributing to an effective handoff include standardization of communication, appropriate training and supervision, ample time, a quiet environment, and a supportive culture
- We hypothesize that attending supervision of handoffs is feasible and can improve practitioner perception of transitions of care
