The admission conference call: a novel approach to optimizing pediatric emergency department to admitting floor communication.

Hendrickson MA, Schempf EN, Furnival RA, Marmet J, Lunos SA, Jacob AK. Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf. 2019 Apr 15; [Epub ahead of print].

This project report describes a novel procedure for handoffs from the emergency department to the inpatient service. The study team implemented a daily conference call that included nurses, residents, and attending physicians rather than separating physician and nursing handoff workflows. The overall reaction to the interdisciplinary workflow was positive.
