Review of computerized physician handoff tools for improving the quality of patient care.
BACKGROUND Computerized physician handoff tools (CHTs) are designed to allow distributed access and synchronous archiving of patient information via Internet protocols. However, their impact on the quality of physician handoff, patient care, and physician work efficiency have not been extensively analyzed. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, PUBMED, EMBASE, CINAHL, the Cochrane database for systemat...
متن کاملA handoff is not a telegram: an understanding of the patient is co-constructed
Hospital handoffs are believed to be a key locus of communication breakdown that can endanger patient safety and undermine quality of care. Substantial new efforts to better understand handoffs and to improve handoff practices are under way. Many such efforts appear to be seriously hampered, however, by an underlying presumption that the essential function of a handoff is one-way information tr...
متن کاملThe patient handoff: a comprehensive curricular blueprint for resident education to improve continuity of care.
In 2010, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education released its resident duty hours restrictions, requiring that faculty monitor their residents' patient handoffs to ensure that residents are competent in handoff communications. Although studies have reported the need to improve the effectiveness of the handoff and a variety of curricula have been suggested and implemented, a com...
متن کاملTeletraffic simulation of cellular networks: modeling the handoff arrivals and the handoff delay
This paper presents an analysis of teletraffic variables in cellular networks. The variables studied are the time between two consecutive handoff arrivals and the handoff delay. These teletraffic variables are characterized by means of an advanced software simulator that models several scenarios assuming Fixed Channel Allocation. Information about the Quality of Service is also provided. A larg...
متن کاملHandoff Mechanisms in Cellular IP: Enhancement into the Indirect Handoff Mechanism
Mobile IP is now the standard for supporting mobility in IP networks. It provides seamless mobility by hiding the change of IP address when a mobile host moves between IP subnets. Nevertheless, Mobile IP is not designed to support fast handoff and seamless mobility in handoff-intensive environments. Several micro-mobility protocols have been proposed to support host mobility with frequent hando...
