Abstract
Handoff communication, which includes up-to-date information regarding patient care, treatment and service, condition, and any recent or anticipated changes, should be interactive to allow for discussion between the giver and receiver of patient information. It requires a process for verification of the received information, including read-back or other methods as appropriate.
