Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Handwashing is hand hygiene with plain or antimicrobial soap and water to physically remove dirt, organic material, and microorganisms. However, it may not kill all microorganisms. The handwashing procedure requires a hand wash basin, liquid soap, paper towels, a domestic waste bin, and disposable nail cleaner as optional equipment.
Hand wash basins in clinical areas should have faucets that can be turned on and off without using the hands; that is, they should be non-touch or lever-operated....

Summary

Effective patient handover is crucial for safe medical care. Standardizing this process and training doctors can reduce miscommunication errors, improving patient outcomes and continuity of care.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Patient Safety
  • Healthcare Quality

Background:

  • Patient handover is critical for continuity of care and patient safety.
  • Miscommunication during handover causes 67% of medical errors, with over half linked to poor handover practices.
  • Standardized handover and doctor training are recommended by Joint Commission International (JCI) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of medical handover as an essential competence.
  • To address the lack of standardized handover formats and training in many hospitals.
  • To provide actionable recommendations for improving intradisciplinary patient handover.

Main Methods:

  • The paper discusses 10 practical tips for enhancing the quality of intradisciplinary patient handover.
