Patient Handoffs: Stop Errors and Improve Compliance

Presented on: Thursday, June 27, 2019 | 1:00–2:30 p.m. Eastern
Register at: http://hcmarketplace.com/patient-handoffs-062719

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.
At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

  • Know what content to include for nurses and physicians during verbal handoffs
  • Know what key characteristics to include in printed forms that support nursing handoffs
  • Know what key features to request when implementing electronic support for tracking nurses’ activities during a shift
