Purposes: Structured computerized handover systems have been established in many intensive care units; however, the integrity rate of the handover process is reported to be only 41%. The effect of five strategies on the handover integrity rate in an intensive care unit was evaluated. Methods: Five interventions were recommended based on decision matrix analysis, as follows: (1) establish standards of operations with a computerized handover system; (2) create in-service education programs for nursing staff; (3) establish audit mechanisms; (4) amend the content of transferred and PGYN Learning Passport; and (5) develop Quick Chart for Windows PCs. Results: The handover integrity rate increased from 41% to 99.4% by using the computerized handover system. The handover time spent per patient decreased from 15.5 to 8 min. Conclusions: Interventions can increase the integrity of information transfer between team members. |
