TL;DR
A formal, structured handover process for pediatric patients transitioning to the intensive care unit after cardiac surgery can reduce medical errors that occur during the admission process and improve teamwork among caregivers.
Abstract

1,592 Citations2000J. Bryan Sexton
Medical staff reported that error is important but difficult to discuss and not handled well in their hospital and barriers to discussing error are more important since medical staff seem to deny the effect of stress and fatigue on performance.

It is concluded that irrespective of local context, precise, unambiguous, face-to-face communication is the best way to ensure effective handoffs of hospitalized patients and that students and residents must be taught the most effective, safe, satisfying, and efficient ways to perform handoffs.

An understanding of how handoffs are conducted in settings with high consequences for failure can jumpstart endeavors to modify handoffs to improve patient safety.
BMJ Quality & SafetyImproving measurement in clinical handover
140 Citations2009Shelly Jeffcott, Sue Evans +3 more
A conceptual framework to underpin a research agenda around the important patient safety topic of clinical handover is introduced and argues that measurement will identify gaps in knowledge about handover practice and promote rigor in the design and evaluation of interventions to reduce patient harm.

It is found that continuous monitoring of the mixed venous saturation (SvO2) allows for identification of acute changes in systemic oxygen delivery and frequently precedes other indicators of decreased CO.
