Abstract
The Joint Commission (2012) estimates that approximately 80% of serious medical errors involve miscommunication among healthcare providers when patients are transferred or handed-off; thereby resulting to delay or inappropriate treatment, omission of care. A standardized hand-off tool unique in the acute care setting was created through inter-professional collaborative effort.
