“…In addition, ineffective handovers can cause major problems relating to lack of delivery of appropriate care and the possibility of misuse or poor utilisation of resources (Arora et al 2005, Siddiqui et al 2012). Previous survey studies of clinical handover have mainly focused on considering the perspectives of doctors (Fassett et al 2007, Karnwal et al 2008, Johner et al 2013, Lindsay et al 2013, Mazhar et al 2013, Kessler et al 2014 or nurses (O'Connell et al 2008, Street et al 2011. However, the delivery of high-quality clinical handovers often requires communication and collaboration between different health professions.…”

“…Following implementation of a standardized bedside report on two units, there was significant improvement in handover practice through the involvement of patients and use of SBAR (Street et al, 2011). Another study showed that verbal handovers are unreasonably lengthy, include nonessential and irrelevant information and provide unreliable and inaccurate information focusing on subjective, speculative, and vague information (McMurray, Chaboyer, Wallis, & Fetherston, 2010).…”

“…The results of a pilot study showed that there is great variation in handover practices related to the duration, method, location, and information exchanged during handover (Street et al, 2011). Following implementation of a standardized bedside report on two units, there was significant improvement in handover practice through the involvement of patients and use of SBAR (Street et al, 2011).…”

“…reported that the information they received was subjective, 30-48% stated that they could have gotten the information elsewhere while 40% complained of receiving irrelevant information and another 14-35% that handover took too much time (O'Connell et al, 2008;Street et al, 2011). In another study of 23 taped handover reports of a general medical ward, it was reported that 85% of information already in written reports.…”
