Safe use of tools for electronic clinical handover

The Guide for the Safe Use of Electronic Clinical Handover Tools (PDF 1837KB) provides guidance about the safe use of information systems to support clinical handover.

The guide is based on research in South Australia and funded by the Australian Commission for Safety and Quality in Health Care.

Electronic tools provide a mechanism to support, not replace good clinical handover practice.

SA Health is developing a practical operational guide for South Australian clinicians and managers to implement electronic tools for clinical handover.
