          Abstract

          Antecedentes: El traspaso del cuidado de un paciente de un proveedor a otro es importante para garantizar la seguridad del paciente. Objetivo: Evaluar si la implementación de algunas partes de un programa de traspaso (I-PASS) es factible en un hospital pediátrico de enseñanza que no utiliza de forma rutinaria comunicación estructurada para traspaso verbal o escrito de pacientes. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de intervención prospectivo en el Hospital del Niño Dr. Ovidio Aliaga Uria. La intervención consistió en un taller con residentes de pediatría en el que se introdujeron algunos componentes de un programa de traspaso de pacientes. Se colectaron datos pre y post-intervención. Resultados: Antes de la intervención, frases resumen de una sola línea se utilizaron raramente, los planes de contingencia no fueron discutidos y la síntesis por el receptor no fue observada o requerida durante la comunicación verbal de traspaso. Tras la finalización del taller, 19 residentes se sintieron competentes para recitar y describir los elementos individuales de la nemotécnica I-PASS. También fueron capaces de enumerar las circunstancias en las que estrategias de comunicación como reuniones de planificación, recapitulación de eventos y reforzamiento del plan pueden ser utilizadas. La evaluación posterior a la intervención mostró que la comunicación estructurada para traspaso no prolongó la duración de la visita médica y ayudó a reforzar el plan con enfermeras, dietistas y trabajadoras sociales. Conclusiones: Comunicación estructurada para traspaso del cuidado del paciente de un proveedor a otro puede mejorar el rendimiento del equipo, facilitar el desarrollo de un modelo mental compartido entre los miembros del equipo y potencialmente mejorar la seguridad del paciente sin afectar negativamente el flujo de trabajo entre residentes.

          Background: Transition of patient care from one provider to another is important to ensure patient safety. Objective: To assess whether implementation of some portions of a standardized handoff program (I-PASS) is feasible in a pediatric teaching hospital where structured handoff communication either verbal or written are not routinely used. Methods: This was a prospective intervention conducted at the Children's Hospital Dr. Ovidio Aliaga Uria. The intervention consisted of a workshop with pediatric residents in which some components of a standardized handoff program were introduced. Pre and post-intervention data were collected. Results: Summary statements (one-liner) were rarely used prior to the intervention. Similarly, contingency plans were never discussed and synthesis by receiver was never required or observed during verbal handoff communication. After completion of the workshop, 19 residents felt competent to recite and describe the individual elements of the IPASS mnemonic. They were also able to list the circumstances in which they would utilize briefs, huddles, and debriefs. The post-intervention assessment showed that structured handoff communication did not prolong duration of rounds and helped to reinforce the plan with nurses, dieticians, and social workers. Conclusion: Structured handoff communication can improve team performance, facilitate development of a shared mental model amongst team members, and potentially improve patient safety without affecting resident workflow adversely.

            Educational interventions to improve handover in health care: a systematic review.

            Effective handover within the health care setting is vital to patient safety. Despite published literature discussing strategies to improve handover, the extent to which educational interventions have been used and how such interventions relate to the published theoretical models of handover remain unclear. These issues were investigated through a systematic review of the literature. Any studies involving educational interventions to improve handover amongst undergraduate or postgraduate doctors or nurses were considered. A standardised search of online databases was carried out independently by both authors and consensus reached on the inclusion of studies. Data extraction and quality assessment were also completed independently, after which a content analysis of interventions was conducted and key themes extracted. Ten studies met the inclusion criteria. Nine studies reported outcomes demonstrating improved attitudes or knowledge and skills, and one demonstrated transfer of skills to the workplace. Amongst the included studies, the strength of conclusions was variable. Poor reporting of interventions impeded replication. Analysis of available content revealed themes in three major areas: teamwork and leadership; professional responsibility with regard to error prevention, and information management systems. Methods used included exercises based on simulation and role-play, and group discussions or lectures focused on errors and patient safety. There is a paucity of research describing educational interventions to improve handover and assessing their effectiveness. The quality of published studies is generally poor. Some evidence exists to demonstrate that skills can be transferred to the workplace, but none was found to demonstrate that interventions improve patient safety. © Blackwell Publishing Ltd 2011.

              Exploring emergency physician-hospitalist handoff interactions: development of the Handoff Communication Assessment.

              We develop and evaluate the Handoff Communication Assessment, using actual handoffs of patient transfers from emergency department to inpatient care. This was an observational qualitative study. We derived a Handoff Communication Assessment tool, using categories from discourse coding described in physician-patient communication, previous handoff research in medicine, health communication, and health systems engineering and pilot data from 3 physician-hospitalist handoffs. The resulting tool consists of 2 typologies, content and language form. We applied the tool to a convenience sample of 15 emergency physician-to-hospitalist handoffs occurring at a community teaching hospital. Using discourse analysis, we assigned utterances into categories and determined the frequency of utterances in each category and by physician role. The tool contains 11 content categories reflecting topics of patient presentation, assessment, and professional environment and 11 language form categories representing information-seeking, information-giving, and information-verifying behaviors. The Handoff Communication Assessment showed good interrater reliability for content (kappa=0.71) and language form (kappa=0.84). We analyzed 742 utterances, which provided the following preliminary findings: emergency physicians talked more during handoffs (67.7% of all utterances) compared with hospitalists (32.3% of all utterances). Content focused on patient presentation (43.6%), professional environment (36%), and assessment (20.3%). Form was mostly information-giving (90.7%) with periodic information-seeking utterances (8.8%) and rarely information-verifying utterances (0.4%). Questions accounted for less than 10% of all utterances. We were able to develop and use the Handoff Communication Assessment to analyze content and structure of handoff communication between emergency physicians and hospitalists at a single center. In this preliminary application of the tool, we found that emergency physician-to-hospitalist handoffs primarily consist of information giving and are not geared toward question-and-answer events. This critical exchange may benefit from ongoing analysis and reformulation. Copyright (c) 2009 American College of Emergency Physicians. Published by Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.
