Hoonakker PLT, Wooldridge AR, Hose B-Z, et al. Information flow during pediatric trauma care transitions: things falling through the cracks. Intern Emerg Med. 2019;14(5):797-805. doi:10.1007/s11739-019-02110-7.
Patient acuity and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration contribute to patient safety issues in trauma care. This qualitative study explored perceptions of handoff safety in pediatric trauma patients and found a high potential for information loss due to the rapidity of handoffs and the multiple disciplines involved.
