Abstract
There were a variety of tools and methods utilized in the PACU for hand-off report. Due to the introduction of the electronic medical record (EMR), some nurses used no written form, while others find the EMR cumbersome for report and preferred a written hand-off communication tool. The attending anesthesiologist wanted the form to be utilized by the providers to indicate if follow-up was required on X-rays or blood work. The hand-off procedure needed to be standardized to improve communication among nurses and physicians in the PACU.
