Overview

Quality improvement project found that implementing an SBAR-based handover reduced medical errors in hospitals, enhancing communication and patient safety.

Key Points

Completeness of handovers improved from 30% to 78% following the introduction of a standardized SBAR format.
Documentation of critical management plans, pending tasks, and code status increased significantly, which helped reduce adverse events from 15 to 3.
Using the Plan-Do-Study-Act framework, a four-week pre- and post-intervention audit assessed handover quality and patient outcomes.
Implementing a structured handover protocol may enable better patient safety and communication, highlighting the importance of continuous training.
