Abstract:
The clinical handover, which is associated with the observation of the changes in patients′ status and the implementation of nursing process, plays a vital role in critical care. Also, the quality of clinical hand-over has a far-reaching impact on patient safety due to the complicate condition of critical patients. Over the past few years, lots of studies have focused on the many aspects of clinical handover such as the contents of clinical handover, the standard procedure of clinical handover so as to reduce the risks associated with the unsystematic clinical handover.
