HAND-OFF COMMUNICATION

description

This project, Hand-off Communication, is initiated with a Design Core 300-level class, DESN 320: 2D Core Design Studio V 2D Core Design Studio V. Vancouver Coastal Health oversees many hospitals in the Greater Vancouver area and beyond. Serving over a million people in BC, they have a huge role in healthcare leadership in the province. One specific example of an area where poor communication has resulted in sentinel events is during shift changes at hospitals. Commonly called “hand-off communication,” this involves the transfer of patient information from one nursing shift to another. Our concept is to come up with an organized and easily navigable system, iPad app, that can help nurse communicate more clearly.
