Abstract
Patient handoffs are the transition of patient care from one provider or group of providers to the
next (Joint Commission, 2005). Handoffs are important, information rich communication events
that are essential for maintaining patient safety (Institute of Medicine, 2000). We sought to
understand the role of handoff communication for providers not using a standardized handoff
protocol by conducting interviews using semi-structured and 'think aloud' protocols with 13
clinicians at a large Midwestern pediatric hospital. We identified several interesting themes in the
interviews beyond factual handoff content, including the role of expertise, experience and
individual style on how handoffs are conducted.
