Clinical handover, patient handover or handover is the transfer of professional responsibility and accountability for some or all aspects of care for a patient, or group of patients, to another person or professional group on a temporary or permanent basis.

Some strategies to improve handover include bedside handover, using SBAR and using computerised handover sheets
