Safe Patient Hand-off Enhances Safety and Empowers Patients
Trillium Health Centre nurses in our Orthopaedic unit pioneered a new standardized method of completing their nurse-to-nurse shift change report that focuses on patient safety, quality and accountability.
Incoming and outgoing nurses review the status of their patients together in front of the patient. Our patients feel involved and safe and it improves communication between their health care team members. For this innovation, Trillium was awarded the prestigious Health Care Safety Award from the Canadian College of Health Services Executives.
