Abstract:Midwives and visiting medical officers have a unique relationship within private hospital maternity settings. The effective exchange of accurate information between them is a fundamental element of patient safety and is vital to the success of the clinical handover process.
The SHARED (situation, history, assessment, risk, expectation, documentation) project developed, implemented and evaluated a framework and support tools for improving clinical handover in two private maternity hospitals.

“…A standardised approach to handover can help clarify the purpose and content of handovers and reduce confusion. Such an approach needs to be easy to use so it can be easily taught and recalled, as demonstrated by https://doi.org/10.5694/j.1326-5377.2009.tb02624.x in a study of enhancing clinical communication in a private maternity hospital 12 . This point is also made in the article by https://doi.org/10.5694/j.1326-5377.2009.tb02622.x on standardised clinical handover tools, 13 in which clinicians were informed of the dangers of poor handover.…”

Provision of a handover framework incorporating key features and essential information has the potential to improve the efficiency of handover. Use of this framework may enhance the transfer of accurate and essential information to enable safe and high standards of nursing care in the ED.
“…Face-to-face communication offers a richer communication experience, providing paralinguistic and nonverbal information in addition to the words themselves, and likely offers the best quality and spectrum of communication (Kraut et al 1988;Orlikowski and Hofman 1997;Hatten-Masterson and Griffiths 2009;Xiao et al 2001). Furthermore, colocation of healthcare work permits indirect and informal communication (Vuckovic et al 2004), enhancing situational awareness among members of the group in a manner similar to more formalized coordination mechanisms such as "voice loops" (Patterson et al 1999).…”
