Abstract
An evidence-based handoff process was piloted on two nursing units at a 221-bed hospital in the Midwest. The pilot consisted of nurses using a structured and standardized report process (SBAR) supported with use of a SBAR tool to facilitate effective communication between nurses at bedside shift report during patient handoff.
