Exploring the State of the Science of the #Nursing Hand-off Communication


Abstract
Miscommunication that occurs during the exchange of information between #healthcare providers accounts for approximately 80% of adverse #events in the healthcare setting. #Nurses devote 10% to 15% of the workday to the #nurse-to-nurse hand-off communication. The hand-off itself has remained virtually unchanged for the past 20 years, although the process is prone to errors. The introduction of the electronic health record and mandates to decrease errors and improve #patient outcomes has led to an influx of research on the #nurse-to-nurse hand-off communication
