Patient Safety emphasizes the reporting, analysis and prevention of medical errors that very often leads to adverse healthcare situations. 1 in 10 patients are impacted by medical errors. The WHO calls the patient safety issue an endemic concern. A number of well-known experts of all areas in the medical field have collected very valuable information for a better patient treatment and higher safety culture in all medical disciplines.
Based on detailed multi-disciplinary analyses of more than 800 recorded handover interactions, audits of written handover documentation, interviews and survey responses, the contributing authors identify features of effective and ineffective clinical handovers in diverse hospital contexts. The authors then translate their descriptive findings into practical protocols, communication strategies and checklists that clinicians, managers and policy makers can apply to improve the safety and quality of clinical handovers. All the contributors are affiliated with the International Research Centre for Communication in Healthcare (IRCCH), an international multidisciplinary organisation of over 90 healthcare professionals from more than 17 countries committed to improving improving communication in healthcare systems around the world.

Esterbrook Longmaid III, MD, FACR, President of Medical Staff, Beth Israel Deaconess-Milton Hospital, Milton, MA USA
'Uncommonly valuable for the rigorous, original communication research it reports and for the careful translation of the research findings into practical strategies that actually improve clinical handovers in the real world of practice.' -Professor Suzanne Kurtz, Washington State University
'This clear, plain English book is an outstanding resource for the training of all involved in healthcare.'-Elizabeth Trickett, (Former) Director of Safety and Quality, ACT Health, Australia
