Translating evidence-based nursing clinical handover practice in an acute care setting: A quasi-experimental study.

Effective transfer of information during the nursing handover contributes to patient safety. This study aimed to translate the best practice nursing shift handover recommendations in an acute care setting using the Ottawa Model for Research Use and to explore its effect on patient adverse outcomes (falls, pressure injuries, and medication errors). Using a quasi-experimental design, the study was conducted in four internal medicine wards in a major tertiary hospital.
