In the Transfer of IPD patients from Wards to Radiology Department, 4.10% transfers delayed were there due to Lack of communication between nurses of different shifts. In the Transfer of patients from Wards to OT, 27(51%) transfer Delays were reported and from Daycare to OT, 5 (25%) transfer Delays were reported. In the Transfer of patients from ICU to Wards, (17%) transfers delayed due to nurse shift change and 6(12%) transfers delayed due to unavailability of HDU beds.
