Structured handoff tools can improve situational awareness and patient safety. This study describes the development and implementation of a bespoke tool for handoffs from the operating room to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). While use remained inconsistent during the study period, the goal of 80% compliance was achieved and 83% surveyed staff agreed or strongly agreed that the handoff provided needed information, up from 21% before implementation.
