- W3204207234 abstract "<h3>Background</h3> Guidance on clinical handover states that handover of care is one of the most perilous procedures in medicine and can be a significant contributory factor to subsequent error and harm to patients if done improperly. Following a local departmental paediatric quality and safety meeting in June 2020, concerns were raised about team handover; it was often rushed and disorganised, with lack of verbal or visual aides to support a structured handover. Ultimately there was concern that salient pieces of information relating to patient care risked being overlooked or missed in handover. <h3>Objectives</h3> The aim of this quality improvement project was to assess the quality and structure of daily paediatric team handovers from July to September 2020 on one paediatric ward. <h3>Methods</h3> As a result of the concerns raised in the quality and safety meeting, discussion was generated amongst two paediatric trainees about current handover practice. A fishbone diagram was completed, highlighting the potential causes, and contributing factors as to why handover was deemed unsafe. The RCPCH handover assessment tool (HAT) was used to make handover assessment sheets and handover practice was assessed. Following the collection of baseline data the extent of the problem was shared with the ward doctors at another quality & safety meeting. The decision was made to add safety points to the bottom of the handover list, comprising key areas including, safety briefing, ward management, and interesting/complex cases. <h3>Results</h3> Baseline measurement showed a median percentage compliance of 36% with safe handover points. Safety briefing points were added to the bottom of handover lists, following this intervention, reassessment of handovers showed an increase in compliance to 45%. Shortly after this there was a noticeable drop in compliance, which was felt to be attributed to a changeover of staff. An active reminder given by the senior incoming clinician to the doctor leading handover to use the safety briefing points, saw the compliance increase to 95%, with consistency. During this process, key issues were highlighted, including patients with the same forename, transfers out to paediatric intensive care and staff shortages amongst doctors and nurses. Of particular importance, patients with the same forename were moved away from each other on the ward to prevent any errors when delivering care. Using the safety handover points also generated group discussion and learning, particularly from cases transferred to intensive care. <h3>Conclusions</h3> Assessing several factors within the paediatric team handover was an ambitious task but clearly highlighted the problem that safety points were not delivered or conveyed in a safe or structured manner. Introducing safety briefing points at the bottom of the handover lists helped to provide a structured handover and ensured that the team were well informed when sharing the care of patients and transferring clinical responsibility. However, it was difficult to maintain consistency with the rotational nature of staff and emphasis on the use of the safety briefing points may often be needed." @default.
