Caducidad de un documento escrito en handoff
View through CrossRef
El “handoff” o “pase del paciente” se define como el intercambio de información clínica cuando un nuevo médico o equipo médico asume el manejo de un paciente, bien sea de forma oral o escrita. La transmisión de información (handoff) oral, es una fuente de errores de comunicación y debe mejorar para disminuir los errores y los eventos adversos. La naturaleza estática de los documentos escritos hace que rápidamente la información se desactualice aumentando el error. Los documentos de handoff electrónicos, integrados en la historia clínica se han asociado con mejoras. La impresión hace que la actualización de los datos a tiempo real sea prácticamente imposible, incrementando el riesgo de una información inexacta. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el tiempo en el que los datos clínicos del documento escrito se vuelven imprecisos, caracterizar el tipo de imprecisiones e identificar diferencias entre los turnos de día y de noche, así como entre servicios médicos y quirúrgicos. La hipótesis afirmaba que al final del turno de noche, la mayoría de los documentos de handoff contenían al menos un error, con potencial de producir daño. Se usó el término de “vida media”. Documentando estas imprecisiones, los autores esperaron que existiera la posibilidad de actualizar los datos en la historia clínica electrónica a tiempo real, con el objetivo de mejorar la seguridad del paciente. ABSTRACT Expiry of a handoff printed document The handoff is defined as the change of clinical information about patients for whom physicians are responsible for between doctors and medical teams, both printed and verbal. Medical errors related to poor communication remain unacceptably common. Verbal handoffs are known to be high-risk source of communication errors and it may be improved to reduce adverse events. The static nature of printed documents makes it likely that some of the information will quickly become inaccurate, increasing the potential for medical errors. Computerised handoff documents integrated with electronic health records have been associated with improvements. Printing makes real-time automatic updating impossible, and therefore, increases the potential for inaccurate information. The main goals of this study were to measure the average time to potential inaccuracy of a printed handoff, to determine the types of inaccuracy and to identify differences between day and night shifts, as well as surgical and non-surgical services. They hypothesized that by the end of an overnight call shift, most handoffs documents would contain at least one error, which had the potential to impact patient care. They used the term “half-life”. By documenting the inaccuracies which can be expected on printed handoff documents, the authors hope to achieve a shift toward reliance on the electronic health records on screen real, real-time, with the ultimate desired result of improved patient safety.
