Effective communication among healthcare professionals during hand-off reporting is essential to delivering safe and continuous patient care. Common professional interactions include reports to healthcare team members, hand-off, and transfer reports. Nurses routinely report information to other healthcare team members and also urgently contact healthcare providers to report changes in patient status.
Standardized methods of communication have been developed to ensure that information is...

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
As a result of their tendency to use...

A communication barrier is any distortion or interruption during a conversation, resulting in miscommunication of the message. A good communicator should know these barriers and continuously check for the listener's understanding by obtaining feedback.
Communication barriers include the following:
Physiological barriers: They are limitations caused by a person's health condition or disability, such as hearing loss, poor eyesight, illness, or unconsciousness. An example to overcome this...

The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Quality Improvement
    • Patient Safety
    • Medical Communication

    Background:

    • Miscommunication during patient care handoffs is a primary cause of hospital medical errors.
    • Standardized handoff methods have not fully resolved issues in the perioperative setting.
    • Barriers to effective perioperative handoff communication remain understudied.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and understand persistent barriers to effective perioperative handoffs.
    • To explore challenges in handoff communication despite quality improvement initiatives.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative study utilizing thematic analysis.
    • Semistructured face-to-face interviews with perioperative nurses and physicians.
    • Coding of interview data into themes and categories.

    Main Results:

    • Barriers were categorized into administration, communication, and personnel.
    • Administration barriers relate to understanding administrative processes.
    • Communication barriers involve handoff methods, content, and environment.
    • Personnel barriers encompass roles, responsibilities, and staffing.

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing critical administrative, communication, and personnel barriers is essential for successful perioperative handoffs.
    • Hospitals can use interview-based studies to identify handoff barriers.
    • Implementing targeted policies can enhance safety in the perioperative space.
