Sparling J, Hong Mershon B, Abraham J. Perioperative handoff enhancement opportunities through technology and artificial intelligence: a narrative review. Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf. 2023;49(8):410-421. doi:10.1016/j.jcjq.2023.03.009.
Multiple handoffs can occur during perioperative care, which can increase the risk for errors and patient harm. This narrative review summarizes research on the benefits, limitations, and implementation challenges of electronic tools for perioperative handoffs and the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in perioperative care.
