Hospital medicine is the fastest growing medical specialty, comprising many specialties and disciplines. Hospitalists perform multiple handoffs per day per patient upon admission, between hospitalists at shift change, to and from numerous consultants and services, and to PCP upon discharge. Standardized handoff formats are advocated by numerous stakeholders for patient safety reasons. But is it advisable or even possible to have a one-size-fits-all format for use under such varying circumstances? This activity will review the medical literature, regulatory measures, and professional guidelines on handoffs from the standpoint of risk management and patient safety.
