Safe Hands: Patients and caregivers promoting continuity and safety during handovers

With increasing prevalence of multimorbidity and specialization of healthcare the ability to hand over
patients smoothly and safely between caregivers and sectors becomes increasingly important to all
healthcare systems.
Safe Hands is a tri-sectoral collaboration between the South- and Southwest Jutland hospitals and
the surrounding municipalities and general practices. Safe Hands aims to improve intra- and cross
healthcare sectoral patient handovers by involving the relevant patients and healthcare professionals
in developing and feasibility testing tri-sector interventions based on patient involvement, relational
coordination, and information sharing.
