The Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Health Care Organization (JACHO) of United States reported 3,548 sentinel events from year 1995 to 2005, to find 65% may have stemmed from poor commimication. The current handover style is far from physicians' expectation. The lack of structured handover has become a real threat to the continuity of patient care. Michael Leonard (2002) developed a structured SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) handover module, claiming this, either done orally or hand-written, would help physicians to monitor the patients' condition longitudinally, and to improve patient safety. Study also has shown that handover through information system, together with the SBAR module, can greatly improve the completeness, quality, and safety of patient care. The research hospital has worked with the emergency care and ward chief committees to introduce the on-line, non-simultaneous resident handover system, with aims to help the message transmission by improving its timeliness, correctness, completeness, and convenience. Aside from the SBAR handover module, the system embedded clinical alert system (Gardner-Thorpe) to generate early warning scores, including systolic pressure (mmHg), pulse rate (bpm), respiration rate, temperature, consciousness, urine output, oxygen saturation, seizure, arrhythmia, chest pain, and clinical recommendations fro handover personnel. Attending physicians are in charge of supervision to ensure the handover completeness. Series of education sessions were delivered. The handover completeness rate has improved from 47.18% (December 2007) to 97.30% (October 2013). Complete and thorough handover is the keystone to good care quality. The structured handover module and team training not only improve the cross-function communication, work efficiency, but also secure the patient condition monitoring and ensure the clinical care quality. We will continue to use the SBAR handover module. In the future we will organize rapid response team to early intervene unstable patients. |
