University of Southern California Handoffs in Patient Care Discussion

 

I’m working on a health & medical discussion question and need support to help me learn.

Discussion prompt:

In your textbook, analyze Part II, Short Case 10: Handoffs in Patient Care. Page# 152- 156 Attached

  • Review the interactive infographic and read the case study in its entirety.
  • In the discussion forum, choose and answer two of the following questions:
    1. Multiple factors contributed to the problem in this case. Identify as many distinct factors as you can. Using your list, develop some strategies to reduce the likelihood of a recurrence.
    2. Why do you think hospitals permit handoff problems to continue?
    3. As a hospital administrator, what would you do if this case had occurred in your hospital?
