CLINICAL HANDOFF, REBUILT

The handoff should live with the patient—not disappear at shift change.

ShiftBridge is a living clinical workflow for managing patients during a shift and transferring responsibility safely to the next clinician. Acuity, unresolved work, contingency planning, ownership, and acknowledgment stay visible as the patient changes.

What matters now

Hemodynamics improved after operative source control. Repeat labs pending.

What remains

Repeat H/H and lactate at 14:00 · ICU resident

What could go wrong

Rising pressor requirement or falling hemoglobin → notify attending and reassess for bleeding.

01 · DURING SHIFT

Manage the living patient list

Complete tasks as they are done. They leave the active queue while remaining in the activity history. If a patient worsens, move them immediately from green to yellow or red.

02 · PREPARE HANDOFF

Pass forward only what matters

Review acuity, unresolved actions, ownership, current clinical status, and contingency plans before responsibility changes hands.

Prepare Shift →
03 · RECEIVE SHIFT

Transfer clinician to clinician

The incoming clinician reviews red patients first, then yellow, then green, confirms understanding, and explicitly accepts responsibility.

THE SHIFTBRIDGE WORKFLOW

One continuous clinical picture across the transition.

The board changes during the shift as work is completed and patient acuity evolves. At handoff, ShiftBridge does not create another static note. It carries forward the current unresolved state of each patient and requires closed-loop receipt by the incoming clinician.
