In the fast-paced, high-volume arena of ambulatory surgery, patient hand-offs occur so frequently that it's easy to take them for granted. You're constantly moving patients from pre-op holding areas to operating and procedure rooms, from the OR to the post-anesthesia recovery unit, and from PACU to the exit. The staff and clinicians involved in these transfers may also fluctuate throughout the day. With so much going on, it's easy for even the most seasoned professional to miss pertinent information.
