Improving handoffs in the emergency department.
Patient handoffs at shift change are a ubiquitous and potentially hazardous process in emergency care. As crowding and lengthy evaluations become the standard for an increasing proportion of emergency departments (EDs), the number of patients handed off will likely increase. It is critical now more than ever before to ensure that handoffs supply valid and useful shared understandings between pr...
متن کاملImproving Channel Scanning Procedures for WLAN Handoffs
WLAN has been widely deployed over public and private areas and has become one of popular access technologies for mobile Internet services in recent several years. Handoff between WLAN access points (APs) that introduce packet loss and delay is one of the critical issues for mobile Internet applications, especially for real-time communications. Previous studies indicated that channel scanning t...
متن کاملImproving Intershift Handoffs in a Multihospital Setting
Ineffective handoffs have been identified as a barrier to patient safety and quality and as a key area for improvement. Handoffs require a process for effective transfer of critical information. A redesigned nurse-to-nurse intershift handoff was implemented in 7 hospitals of a multisite system. The redesign included combining evidence and an innovative approach developed by nurse managers to im...
متن کاملImproving Vertical Handoffs Using Mobility Prediction
The recent advances in wireless communications require integration of multiple network technologies in order to satisfy the increasing demand of mobile users. Mobility in such a heterogeneous environment entails that users keep moving between the coverage regions of different networks, which means that a non-trivial vertical handoff scheme is required in order to maintain a seamless transition ...
متن کاملA theoretical framework and competency-based approach to improving handoffs.
BACKGROUND Once characterised by remarkable continuity of care by a familiar doctor, patient care today is delivered by multiple physicians with varying degrees of knowledge of the patient. Yet, few trainees learn the potential risks of these transitions and the strategies to improve patient care during handoffs. Little is known regarding the mechanisms by which handoffs affect patient care. ...
