Structured handoffs are recognized as a method to ensure that complete, accurate information is shared between teams. This article describes the impact of the Handoffs and Transitions in Critical Care (HATRICC) study on accuracy and completeness of handoff before and after implementation of a structured handoff tool. Post-intervention, the accuracy and completeness of handoffs improved. Omissions, mortality, and length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay were reported in a 2019 study.
