摘要

Disclosed are systems and methods for electronic health record management and logging of hand-offs of patient care in a healthcare facility. The system may include a communication module for recording and time stamping a patient's clinical information; a hand-off logging module for recording information relating to the patient's hand-off from a first healthcare provider to a second healthcare provider, and for recording information relating to any subsequent hand-offs of the patient to other healthcare providers. The recorded hand-off information includes the names of the healthcare providers providing health services to the patient, and a time stamp associated with each hand-off, and the hand-off logging module further generates a hand-off log including the recorded hand-off information and the patient admission information.
