Abstract

Teamwork and communication are paramount to patient safety. Poor communication during handoff is implicated in near misses and adverse events. Exposing nurses to other units’ workflow early in their orientation may also aid in surge staffing. This study showed improvements in teamwork and communication, and a deeper understanding of another units’ workflow.
