Abstract (type = abstract)
Background: Handoff report between the Emergency Department (ED) and the Intensive Care Unit/Critical Care Unit (ICU/CCU) is a time where patient information is shared and lost between the reporting and receiving nurses. Up to seventy percent of sentinel events happen as a result of communication errors, so it is imperative that information is reported accurately so that data is not lost in translation. In its 2006 National Patient Safety Goals, the Joint Commission called for a plan to standardize the way that handoff communication is delivered. Methods: This project explored the perception of handoff between the ED and ICU/CCU nurses by use of a Likert-style survey completed by the ICU/CCU nurses before and after an educational intervention for the ED nurses. After the initial surveys were collected from the ICU/CCU, ED nurses were assigned a PowerPoint style instruction on how to use the Illness Severity, Patient Summary, Action List, Situation Awareness, Synthesis (I-PASS) handoff tool. Outcomes: One month after the implementation was started, the nurses in the ICU/CCU were again surveyed to determine if there was a perceived improvement in how handoff communication was delivered. The number of results were limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the data collected did not show a statistically significant difference in the staff perception of handoff. Implications: More data is needed to determine if this tool is effective in improving handoff. If the date proves the tool is ineffective, a modification or different tool should be used to improve handoff.
