What are covering doctors told about their patients? Analysis of sign-out among internal medicine house staff
Quality & Safety in Health Care, 08/06/09

The findings suggest that several changes may be required to improve sign–out quality, including standardising key content, minimising sign–outs that do not involve the primary team, templating written sign–outs, emphasising the role of sign–out in maintaining patient safety and fostering a sense of direct responsibility for patients among covering staff.
