Improving care coordination through virtual warm handoffs in telepsychiartry
… psychiatry often experiences inconsistent handoffs between providers and nurses. This can result in missed nursing assessments, delays in lab work or vital-sign checks, and fragmented follow-up care, especially for patients on medications like lithium, valproate, or clozapine that require …

A new scheme for prioritizing handoffs in cellular networks
The process that allows a call in progress to continue as the mobile terminal moves between cells is called a handoff . In cellular networks, call admission algorithms play an important role in improving the performance of the network. In this thesis, we present a new call admission algorithm that …

Acute-To-Home Care Nursing Handoffs: Distributed Cognition Across Patterns of Knowledge
… is fundamental to safe care. Studies show that handoffs or transfers of patient care from one provider to another are susceptible to communication failures (Riesenberg et al., 2009a). Most studies on communication failures focus on communication between providers within the same setting of care. …

The need for standardization: Intraprofessional communication among physicians during handoffs in hospital settings
… they have also resulted in increased number of handoffs. Successful information flow during shift change has a vital influence on the provision of healthcare. It is of extreme importance that information is shared correctly during shift changes, such as during a handoff situation. This specific …

Enhanced link layer handover based on localization
… coverage of another AP, it is said to undergo handoffs. The mobile node has to complete a link layer handoffs together with other tasks associated with handoffs in order to effectively have a new wireless link with the new AP. The link layer handoffs currently specified and practiced in IEEE …

Nurse Shift Handoff Report at the Patient's Bedside: Improving Nurse-to-Nurse Communication
… approach to communication during nurse shift handoffs through utilization of bedside shift reporting (BSR). Shift handoffs are integral to nursing practice; therefore, this process must be accurate, effective, and consistent in order to ensure the delivery of safe and quality care. The project …

Evaluation of a Scientifically Developed Anesthesiology Handoff Protocol
… events in healthcare. Specifically, within handoffs, these communication failures can cause error in the transfer of patient information. A multitude of factors can affect the transmission of patient information between providers including transactive memory, power distance, and …

A Framework of Cooperating Agents Hierarchies for Local-Area Mobility Support
… mobility extensions. Second, for intra-hierarchy handoffs, we identify several design deficiencies within the current Mobile IP hierarchy extension proposal, and present an enhanced regional registration framework for local handoffs that encompasses a replay protection identification value …

A Location-aided Decision Algorithm for Handoff Across Heterogeneous Wireless Overlay Networks
… heterogeneous technologies, thus only handoffs that are followed by a sufficient visit to the discovered WLAN should be triggered. The conventional RF-based handoff decision method does not have the necessary means for making an accurate decision in the type of environments described …

Support infrastructures for multimedia services with guaranteed continuity and QoS
… in wireless resource availability due to handoffs. This dissertation proposes a novel middleware solution, called MUM, that performs effective and context-aware handoff management to transparently avoid service interruptions during both horizontal and vertical handoffs. To achieve the …

SD-MCAN: A Software-Defined Solution for IP Mobility in Campus Area Networks
… as they migrate between LANs with low-latency handoffs. Traditional approaches to mobility may be difficult to deploy and often lead to inefficient routing, but Software-Defined Networking (SDN) provides an intriguing alternative. This thesis identifies necessary requirements for a …

Evaluation of the Nursing Handoff Process from Emergency Department to In-Patient Unit
… of three weeks and a total of 12 interunit handoffs were observed. A few issues in structure, process, and outcomes of handoffs were identified, such as difference in unit culture, lack of teamwork and understanding between units, lack of knowledge of available tools, as well as operational …

Mobile IP movement detection optimisations in 802.11 wireless LANs
… upper-layer sessions. Unfortunately, these handoffs introduce large latencies into a mobile node's traffic, during which packets are lost. As a result, the mobile node's upper-layer sessions and applications suffer significant disruptions due to this handoff latency. One of the main …
