The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospital Organization (JCAHO) has handoff requirements to create the safe and effective transfer of patient information between providers. Multiple studies have investigated standardized nurse-to-nurse handoffs and nurse-to-physician handoffs. However, very few studies have examined handoff communication between anesthesia providers. A near-miss scenario during a sitting craniotomy procedure is reviewed, and a root cause analysis conducted to demonstrate the importance of communication and how a standardized anesthesia handoff tool can facilitate patient safety.
