Abstract

The handover process must contain all the necessary information for continuing care. Ineffective handover process, with loss of information can be a risk to patient safety. The present study aimed to characterize the handover process from the Surgical Center and the Intensive Care Unit. Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at an adult Intensive Care Unit of a teaching hospital in the city of de Goiânia – Goiás, from May to August 2014. Data was collected through a checklist divided into four categories containing information related to patient identification, procedure performed, clinical status and postoperative care. A great deal of information of the checklist was not transferred to the Intensive Care Unit staff. We expect that the data provided here contribute to the creation of safe strategies and strengthen the commitment of health professionals with the quality of the information transmitted during the handover process.
