Abstract
Patient handoff is an essential aspect of care that can be a source of medical errors and adverse patient outcomes. Standardized policies to foster safe patient handoff between pre-hospital, emergency and in-hospital providers are critical. Competency-based education and quality improvement initiatives enhance quality of care and successful patient outcomes. The legal nurse consultant must critically analyze handoff processes to ensure policies and procedures are in place and effectively implemented.
