Handoff Routine

The Handoff Routine is for sending/departing nurses to provide a full report to the oncoming/receiving nurse who will then complete the Transfer of Accountability (TOA) intervention on the patient's worklist. This routine will pull patient specific documentation from the patient's chart to meet the requirements of a SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendations).
