The purpose of this grant is to fund the research necessary to fully understand the impact of this sign-out tool on clinician workflow, quality of sign-out, and continuity of care. This information will inform exactly how Partners will move ahead with tools to improve handoffs in care (i.e., whether the prototype will be adapted further, adopted Partners wide, or abandoned in favor of other solutions). The investigators hypothesize that a web-based handoff tool improves provider satisfaction, the quality of written sign-outs, and measures of continuity of care compared with current handoff tools.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Proportion of required data elements present | The proportion of required data elements present in written/typed sign-outs during tool implementation. | 8 months | No |
Secondary | Direct observations | Time spent preparing and delivering sign-out will be compared before and after implementation of the sign-out using linear regression clustered by user. | 8 months | No |
Secondary | User satisfaction | Individual questions from the user satisfaction survey will be presented as medians with interquartile ranges on Likert-type questions and compared using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. A global satisfaction score will be derived by calculating the proportion of questions for which users were satisfied or very satisfied, and compared using linear regression. Results of the continuity of care survey will be analyzed similarly. | 8 months | No |
