Transfers of care have become increasingly frequent and complex with shorter inpatient stays and changes in work hour regulations. Potential hazards exist with transfers. There are few reports of institution-wide efforts to improve handoffs. Our institution developed a hospital-wide physician handoff task force to proactively address issues surrounding handoffs and to ensure a consistent approach to handoffs across the institution. In this report, we discuss our experiences with handoff standardization, provider utilization of a new electronic medical record-based handoff tool, and implementation of an educational curriculum; our future work in developing hospital wide policies and procedures for transfers; and our consensus agreement on best methods for monitoring and evaluation of trainee handoffs. The handoff task force infrastructure has enabled us to take an institution-wide approach to improving handoffs. The task force has improved patient care by addressing handoffs systematically and consistently and has helped create new strategies for minimizing risk in handoffs.
