Clinical handover is about the transferring of all, or part, of a patient’s care between healthcare providers. It is a high risk activity as there is an increased risk of communication errors at these times. For this reason, it is a key aspect of the Australian National Safety and Quality Health Service Standard Six: Communicating for Safety.
Clinical handover occurs many more times a day than at change of shifts. It occurs as patients deteriorate, transfer between units, transfers for tests and imaging, and for many other reasons.
For the patient, each time clinical information is handed over, there is an associated risk. With every subsequent handover, risk multiplies and the associated patient safety risk and potential for adverse outcomes multiplies.
Developing effective clinical handover skills is essential for all nurses and midwives. It is an essential element of professional responsibility and duty of care.
This course provides instruction on the elements required for effective clinical handover and how to put the principles into practice.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
