摘要

Patient handoffs are transitions where communication failures may lead to errors in patient care.Face-toface handoffs are preferred,however may not always be feasible.Different models and strategies have been described,yet there are few experimental studies.Expanding the problem,the on-call surgeon may be responsible for many patients,few or none that they admitted.Effective handoffs improve the quality of care and result in fewer errors.Herein we review different models of patient handoffs,comment on common pitfalls,and suggest areas for new research.
