Poor communication and lack of structured format are contributing factors in adverse
incidents where patient care is put at risk. (Vinu & Kane, 2016)
Handover offers an occasion to reflect on the previous shift and it needs to be focused.
Shift handover has also been identified as an occasion where information accuracy can
decline. Poor clinical handover communication or inadequate transfer of information can
have significant consequences related to safety, quality in health care and will be the
vital contributor to adverse events. Ineffective handovers of patient information has
been associated with delays in treatment that can have detrimental effects in seriously ill
patients and adverse medical events for patients, and ineffective handover also has
impact on efficiency and effectiveness. (Vinu & Kane, 2016)
Observation was done initially on handover practice where the handover took place in
the nurses’ station, to identify the existing good practices and the potential barriers that
cause gaps in the information. The handover was verbal reporting and a daybook
register in the ward was used as a guidebook for patients’ concise details. The person
giving the handover read out the patient name and concise details from the daybook,
and verbalised any additional interventions performed, or yet to be done. During
handover the staff receiving the handover make a written hand note of the name,
diagnosis and the details needed for care which the nurse feels appropriate, on a piece
of paper. (Vinu & Kane, 2016)
A key report published by the Joint Commission Center for Transforming Healthcare
(hereafter referred to as The Joint Commission) noted that communication errors
resulted in the most reported sentinel events. Numerous organizations have identified
that communication among nurses is an essential component of safe patient care,
especially during the transfer of patient information from one nurse to another: a
process known as handoff. (Campbell & Dontje, 2019)
Handover practices are considered a core component in the effective transfer of patient
care among nursing professionals. The failure to share relevant clinical information
about a patient in an accurate and timely manner may lead to adverse events, delays,
inappropriate treatment or an omission of care. noted that different nursing handover
styles might ensure the continuity of information and improved outcomes of the nursing
process. Shift-to-shift nurse handovers occur mainly through face-to-face conversations.
Regardless of the specific practice, the failure to conduct a complete, structured and
logical handover places patients at risk, as the responsibilities associated with patient
care are unclear and may be jeopardized by such ineffective communication. (Pun, Chan,
Eggins, & Slade, 2020)
SKALA DATA
Approximately 44,000 - 98,000 people die each year due to medical errors.
Communication errors are reported as the key contributory factor in over 70% of all
sentinel events, and omission of detailed patient information frequently underlies these
communication errors. Emphasising the seriousness of this problem, JCAHO noted that
75% of patients affected by these events died. (Vinu & Kane, 2016)
The Joint Commission (2010) noted that an estimated 80% of serious preventable
adverse events can be attributed to miscommunications between caregivers during
hand-offs. Gawande et al. found that 43% of incidents reported by surgeons interviewed
for their study came from communication breakdowns; specifically, two thirds of those
communication breakdowns involved an inadequate handoff of information or a change
in the personnel providing patient care. (Hunter, H. et al. 2017)
In a report by the United States (US) Joint Commission, it was reported that breakdown
in communication was the leading cause of delay in treatment, resulting in death or
permanent loss of function, in the period 2004 to 2013. In Australia, Wilson et al.
examined 14 000 hospital admissions for 28 hospitals in two states. An adverse event
resulting in a disability or longer hospital stay occurred for 17% of cases. Of those, 11%
were caused by some form of communication breakdown. Hence, handover problems
are a global concern. Health-care quality bodies, including the US Institute for
Healthcare Improvement (IHI), ACSQHC, British National Patient Safety Agency and
World Health Organization (WHO) advocate the implementation of standardized
approaches, training on effective handover communication and development of
strategies to enhance the ways in which clinicians communicate and acquire information
during handover. (Debra, kerr, 2014)
In the same period, quality evaluation of reported safety events with review of medical
records indicated that 60% of medication error events (10 of 17 events) were because of
ineffective handoff communication between clinic and infusion nurses. Ineffective
handoffs can contribute to gaps in patient care, jeopardize patient safety, result in
medication error, and lead to poor quality care delivery. (Pandya et al., 2019)
According to the Inspector General Office, Health and Human Services Department, less-
than-competent hospital care contributed to the deaths of 180,000 Medicare patients in
2010. However, the real number may be higher: According to one estimate, between
210,000 and 440,000 patients who go to the hospital each year for care suffer some kind
of preventable harm that contributes to their death. (offori ata 2015)
KRONOLOGI
Poor communication and lack of structured format are contributing factors in adverse
incidents where patient care is put at risk. (Vinu & Kane, 2016)
While patient handovers occur between all clinical personnel, and at every level of care,
the focus of this study is the handover that occurs at nursing shift change. In maternity
care, clinical shift handover should be conducted using the ISBAR3 communication tool
that defines the information Technologies are reshaping information management. We
describe the development and implementation of a computerized structured shift
handover tool based on ISBAR3, comprising a printed handover sheet to support sharing
concise, focused information effectively and assertively. This tool reduces the need for
repetition, and improves communication and patient safety. (Vinu & Kane, 2016)
The absence of a structured format and diversity of practice backgrounds made the
handover process inconsistent. Some nurses might give relevant, accurate information in
short time, whereas others might give vague, irrelevant details, which resulted in
unnecessary deviation from the topic and consumed more time. Standardising the
handover structure minimises the demand of recalling from memory, especially at the
end of a long tiring shift. Structured handover avoids omission of pertinent information,
the need for repetition and potential communication breakdown. The use of ISBAR3
communication tool is recommended for handover, and serves as a starting point in our
study. (Vinu & Kane, 2016)
A verbal only method of handover is insufficient and is liable to significant data loss. The
use of careful note taking during handover vastly improves the amount of information
retained, and the use of a pre-printed sheet containing important patient details almost
entirely eliminates data loss during handover, but this process can be time consuming.
Verbal handover supplemented with a pre-prepared structured handover sheet avoids
the loss of pertinent information, that could result in serious patient morbidity or
mortality. The quantity and quality of information conveyed during shift handover can be
expected to improve if a structured format is used. There is no evidence to show the
most effective method of handover, however it is suggested that a standardised
approach to handover communications, including a chance to ask and respond to
questions works best. Implementation of a standardized structured handover template
and training to improve compliance to established standards, will foster quality of care,
and protect patient safety. Standardised methods for handover communication are now
agreed Internationally and recommended by WHO and Joint Commission International.
It is recommended that shift clinical handover should be conducted using the ISBAR3
communication tool (Identify, Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation,
Responsibility, Risk) as a structured framework, which outlines the information to be
transferred. The tool may be available in written format but electronic is preferred. The
aim of this National Clinical Guideline is to describe the elements that are essential for
timely, accurate, complete, unambiguous and focused communication of information in
maternity services in Ireland. (Vinu & Kane, 2016)
The Clinical handover process and the standardisation of such a process has been
recognised as being crucial to maintaining and promoting effective communication and
patient safety across the world with varying systems being used. (Beament, Ewens,
Wilcox, & Reid, 2018)
Handoff in the emergency department is considered a high-risk period for medical errors
to occur. Medical errors that have been identified within the emergency department
include falls, administration of medication, administration of blood, and a deficiency of
infection control practices. Common factors in the emergency department, such as
multiple interruptions, alarms, noise, attempts to multitask and overcrowding,
negatively affect the handoff process.6 As emergency departments have high patient
turnover, high patient acuity, and unpredictable patient volumes, the transfer of patient
information among nurses in this setting might be inadequate and unsafe. Because of
the risk factors that might be associated with handoff in the emergency department,
using bedside handoff can assist with providing safe patient care. (Campbell & Dontje,
2019)
There has been considerable focus on inter-shift nursing handover over the past decade
in Australia and internationally. Handovers have been shown to be time consuming,
inconsistent and varied in style. Catchpole et al. identified that health-care professionals
were concerned about poor awareness of handover protocols; poor team coordination;
time pressure; lack of consistency in handover practice; and poor communication of
important information. (Kerr, Klim, Kelly, & Mccan 2016)
Preliminary research at the ED in which this study was conducted found that nursing
handover often lacked important information, was rarely conducted in front of the
patient and medication charts were rarely sighted during this activity. Nurses also
reported a preference for handover to be conducted for allocated patients only, to be
performed at the patient’s bedside, and systematically cover essential information
including patient detail, presenting problem, treatment, nursing observations and the
proposed future plan. Arising from these concerns, a structured and systematic
handover framework was developed . The framework was specifically modified to
address deficits in nursing care practice. For example, emphasis was placed on viewing
the patient’s charts for medication, vital signs and fluid balance. This provides an
opportunity for omissions of information, documentation, or care to be identified and
addressed at the commencement of a shift. (Kerr, Klim, Kelly, & Mccan, 2016)
SOLUSI
The use of structured, standardised tools helps to ensure standardistaion; thus orderly
thought is conveyed in a concise and thorough way to uphold patient safety. The ISBAR3
(Identification, Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation/
Responsibility/Risk) mnemonic is a conceptual framework specifically developed for
multidisciplinary patient related information sharing and communication Use of ISBAR3
promotes consistency during handover while transferring the patient’s information. The
template aids in the transfer of information in an expected pattern so that the good
communication improves patient safety by avoiding or reducing omissions and errors.
(Vinu & Kane, 2016)
Based on the initial observation findings, the identified factors are incorporated with
National guideline in the development of a structured ISBAR3 handover template
specific to gynaecology patients. The ISBAR3 format helps nurses to structure their
communication in a logical sequence, facilitating rapid comprehension, henceforth
reducing the length of handover. It enables them to clarify what information should be
communicated, and how. It permits the staff to communicate assertively and effectively,
reducing the need for repetition. (Vinu & Kane, 2016)
At first the format was piloted with the senior nursing team and necessary corrections
were made according to the ward setting. The template was then introduced to the staff,
which was on the computer in a Word format and each nurse updates their patients’
details towards the time of handover. The details were not saved in the computer for
confidentiality and data protection. So it was deleted once the patient was discharged.
The daybook described that is used as the basis for verbal handover, also was amended
to conform with the ISBAR3 template to maintain accuracy and consistency. (Vinu &
Kane, 2016)
The main areas of change in the introduction of electronic clinical handover systems is in
accuracy and in the scope of the information that is handed over, and a reduction in the
time for handover to occur. The implementation of a structured nurse shift handover is
perceived to improve communication between carers, and improve patient safety. We
demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in the amount of information
exchanged in shift handover. (Vinu & Kane, 2016)
Using IT in nurse shift handover is an effective method for improving quality, efficiency,
and reducing costs. The use of the computerised structured format provides a prompt
for critical information, and helps to ensure that information is not overlooked. It also
provides guidance for additional information, such as the set of tasks to be completed,
people to be contacted and reports to be followed up. (Vinu & Kane, 2016)
As well as improving staff satisfaction and patient safety, the time saved using the
structured format has positive implications for hospital efficiency, effectiveness and
patient care. (Vinu & Kane, 2016)
Effective handoffs can help decrease adverse events and improve outcomes. The
importance of bedside handoff should not be underestimated, as it can be a successful
approach to incorporating patients and families along with nurses in the safe transition
of care. (Campbell & Dontje, 2019)
Various strategies have been developed to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of
nursing handover, including standardized approaches, bedside handover and technology.
The majority of these models have been evaluated in inpatient settings; few have been
conducted in ED (Emergency Departmen) In the UK, Currie identified handover
problems, including missing information, distractions and breaches of confidentiality.
