In This Issue:
OR nurse Rosemarie Passamonte, RN, (at left) hands off a patient to Kristin Styer, RN, BSN, of the PACU. To ensure patient safety, when a patient is transferred from one setting to another, care providers from both settings meet to communicate the patient's medical information, allowing an opportunity to ask and respond to questions. Standardizing hand off communications is a JCAHO National Patient Safety Goal.
