All the healthcare personnel on the unit who will be interacting with this group of patients should actively participate in the patient hand-off.This would include nursing assistive personnel (NAP)and the nurses.An interdisciplinary team usually meets when there is a problem with a patient and all the team members need to discuss approaches and plans with and for a patient.The healthcare provider does not participate in the patient hand-off procedure.The provider makes rounds on a specific group of patients.
