The World Health Organization lists ineffective handovers
that lead to patient harm as one of its High 5 patient safety
risks. PATIENT addresses this challenge by using innovative
learning approaches with mobile devices to enable authentic
skill development for the workplace.
Improperly conducted handovers lead to wrong treatment,
delays in medical diagnosis, life threatening adverse events,
increased health care expenditures, increased hospital
length of stay that impact the patient, their family and the
entire health system.
The PATIENT Consortium is hosting a workshop on
“Standardized medical handover – How to learn, teach and
implement?” at the annual conference of the Gesellschaft
für Medizinische Ausbildung (Association of Medical
Education) in Graz, Austria.
The workshop will focus on several standardized tools for
giving a medical handover, with an emphasis on teaching
and learning. Participants will also discuss feasible options
for implementing handover courses within given curricula.
The Workshop will take place on Friday, 27.09.2013: 8:30

Patient Project
The PATIENT project builds on EU
funded work on developing handover
training the FP7 HANDOVER project
(FP7-HEALTH- F2-2008-223409).
Experiences and insights of medical trainers,
experts in handover, doctors and nurses from the EU and beyond,
were utilized to design a learning environment, the HANDOVER Toolbox,
conducive to training and learning around handover processes.
In the PATIENT project the HANDOVER Toolbox is combined
with multiple mobile applications. One of these apps is the
CLAS app a mobile application to structure handover processes
between different medical departments as well as hospitals and
General Practitioners (GPs).
The PATIENT project seeks to further our knowledge of the
merits of implementing highly innovative learning
environments (Toolbox) that offer sophisticated ICT tools
(CLAS mobile application), to enhance interaction between
students, teachers, researchers and patients. We encourage the
exchange of knowledge and ideas to increase awareness,
understanding and pioneering solutions for this important
global issue.
The primary objective of the PATIENT project is implementing
the handover study module for undergraduate medical
students on a European scale.
The target study module will take advantage of innovative
teaching and learning methods to improve handover
procedures. The module will combine formal, informal,
problem and role-based learning scenarios in simulation
settings. It will take advantage of the HANDOVER Toolbox, the
CLAS mobile application, and others apps as a common
denominator to standardize the handover training.

The
PATIENT
project
contributes new insights and
scientific
knowledge
by
bringing together centres of
excellence, hospitals, and
SMEs from across the EU to
undertake research and
cooperation activities. The
specific aims include to:
1. Share knowledge and
facilitate existing and
new European networks
particularly in relation to
initiatives in innovative
medical education
2. Encourage shared
innovative practice in
handover practice.
3. Link research, education
and innovation.
4. Promote research
excellence and outputs,
enabling international
research community and
peer-review.
