What project will be tackled next by the Center, and which hospitals will be working on that project?
Hand-off communication is the next project we are tackling to improve patient safety and quality. Launched in August 2009, the second group of hospitals include: Fairview Health Services, Intermountain Healthcare, Kaiser-Permanente, Mayo Clinic, New York Presbyterian Hospital, North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, Partners HealthCare Systems, and Stanford Hospital and Clinics. A hand-off is a transfer and acceptance of patient care responsibility achieved through effective communication.
