This process is critical in facilitating and ensuring a seamless continuity of safe consumer care.

The information shared in handover is key in ensuring the entire team understands the care and services that need to be delivered to each consumer every day and gives you the ability to plan and structure the day and the week and focus on the priorities.

AnchorHandover is a best practice tool based on the iSoBAR framework. It aligns with the Aged Care Quality Standards and underpins clinical care governance and management of high impact high prevalence risk with particular reference to requirements 3(3)a and 3(3)b.
