Patient handover app

Consistent, auditable clinical handovers.

Our Patient Handover App guides clinicians through each handover using the SBAR framework, so key information is captured clearly and stored securely. It runs on Microsoft 365 and Power Platform and works on desktop, tablet and mobile.

4 parts

The problem

Why handovers go wrong.

  1. 1

    Inconsistent handovers

    Without a shared structure, what gets passed on depends on who is handing over.

  2. 2

    Information hard to find later

    Notes on paper or in different systems are difficult to review when questions come up.

  3. 3

    Little evidence for governance

    It is hard to show how handovers were carried out for clinical governance and quality assurance.
