Physicians participating in postcall (emergency) general surgery handover meetings were included. Data were collected for consecutive patients admitted for emergency general surgery before and after implementation of the intervention, providing they had a minimum of 6 hours of Early Warning Score data available following the time of the handover meeting.

A total of 182 residents took part in handovers during the study period, during which time 126 handover meetings were observed. After the intervention, handover quality improved across multiple domains without prolonging meeting duration and was associated with significant improvements in patient vital signs at 12 hours (170 patients [21.5%] vs 247 patients [16.8%]; difference, 4.6 [95% CI, 1.2 to 8.1] percentage points; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.007) and 24 hours (212 patients [26.8%] vs 294 patients [20.0%]; difference, 6.7 [95% CI, 3.0 to 10.4] percentage points; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). Staff-reported handover-related patient safety events also decreased after the intervention (13 days with events [19.7%] vs 4 days with events [4.6%]; difference, \u221215.1 [95% CI \u22124.5 to \u221225.6] percentage points; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.004), with improvements in staff-perceived handover safety and quality.
