Stop medical errors, patient harm, and angry surveyors by fixing your patient handoff process. Handoffs (AKA transitions) are when a patient is transferred from one caregiver to another—they’re also a weak point in the care process overall. Vital information can be forgotten or overlooked when making the handoff, and that means a high potential for harm, from wrong-patient scenarios to medication errors.
Join this 90-minute webinar and learn from international patient handoff expert Emily Patterson, PhD, as she teaches you how to adapt mnemonics, tools, and best practices to your facility.
