Shared clinical support equipment, accounted for between shifts

Departments can issue radios, tablets and other shared non-clinical devices to authorized staff, then verify their return without relying on informal handoffs.

Healthcare in practice

A shared tablet moves between departments

A unit coordinator issues a tablet and radio to a staff member for an assigned shift. The tablet later moves to another authorized employee; the original checkout record should not be the end of the trail.

STEP 01

Issue

Identify the staff member collecting a shared device at the designated station.

STEP 02

Transfer

Record the handoff when responsibility passes to another authorized staff member.

STEP 03

Reconcile

Check returned devices in and review outstanding items before the next shift.

Illustrative example. Processes depend on each organization's configuration and procedures.
