Handoffs and Transitions in Critical Care - Understanding Scalability

Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Patient Handoff, Healthcare Team, Communication, Patient Safety, Intensive Care Units

In brief

The investigators will leverage implementation science and engineering to adapt, implement, and rigorously evaluate tailored postoperative handoff protocols and implementation strategies. In doing so, the investigators will develop a vital understanding of the factors needed for successful and sustained use of evidence-based interventions in acute care. This knowledge will inform approaches to bridge the evidence-to-practice gap that prevents effective interventions from realizing the promise of improved patient outcomes in acute care settings.
