Developing and applying a cross-disciplinary team handover information system.
In order to avoid medical errors, it is very important to communicate with the medical team correctly, timely and efficiently. One of main reasons for the poor outcome of multidisciplinary handover in hospital is lacking effective tools for multidisciplinary handover. The project aimed to develop a workflow-based multidisciplinary handover information system, integrated with medical record browsing, multidisciplinary handover and event tracking, to improve the correctness and effectiveness of communication among the medical team members.
