Structured handoffs can improve the quality of patient information passed from one care team to another. This article describes intensivists' perspectives on a potential handoff tool (ICU-PAUSE) for handoff from the intensive care unit (ICU) to medical ward. They described the usefulness of a structured clinical note, especially regarding pending tests and the status of high-risk medications. Several barriers were also discussed, such as the frequent training required for residents who rotate in and out of the ICU and potential duplication of the daily chart note.
