Evaluating observed and perceived experiences of operating room to paediatric critical care unit handoffs: an initial assessment to inform quality improvement
Audit and survey data identified multiple areas for process improvements in OR to PCCU handoffs. The combination of objective and subjective data enhanced results and informed future quality improvement efforts by engaging team members. These findings will aid in the development of a structured OR to PCCU handoff process to ensure effective and safe patient care.
