Study Summary
The investigators propose to test the hypothesis that implementation of a comprehensive handoff program (CHP) - i.e., implementation of a computerized handoff tool along with teamwork training for pediatric residents on inpatient units at Children's Hospital Boston - will lead to reductions in resident miscommunications / medical errors and improvements in workflow and experience on the wards.
Primary Outcome
Resident-related medical errors (including medication-related, diagnostic, and procedural) detected using a multi-pronged prospective surveillance methodology that involves 5d/week chart review, review of hospital incident reports, and collection of staff reports. Resident-related defined as involving a resident research subject. Communication errors are those medical errors attributable to communication failures.
