Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in information omissions

    The number of information omissions per handoff episodes will be determined by direct observation.

    baseline to 1 month post-intervention

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in teamwork score

    baseline to 1 month post-intervention

  • Change in patient length of stay

    baseline to 1 month post-intervention

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Change in qualitative implementation outcomes

    baseline to 1 month post-intervention

Study Arms (1)

Standardized OR to ICU handoff

OTHER

A standardized handoff process for conducting OR to ICU handoffs will be implemented in two intensive care units without a standard process.

Behavioral: Standardized handoff

Interventions

Standardized handoffBEHAVIORAL

A standardized handoff will be implemented that consists of choreographed handoffs utilizing a structured handoff tool to facilitate information exchange.
