This blog has been created to share PubMed search strategies. Search strategies posted here are not perfect. They are posted in the hope that others will benefit from the work already put into their creation and/or will offer suggestions for improvements. Librarians who wish to post comments on this blog or who wish to become authors are invited to e-mail me (Cindy Schmidt). I'm not posting my unmc.edu e-mail address here, but it's easy to find on the web : - ).

transfer -- keywords
This list of transfer keywords was compiled as part of a search concerning the communication between two groups of doctors that occurs when a patient is transferred from one section of the hospital to another. The terms for the two groups of doctors (not included here) gave the search its specificity. Depending on the search topic terms like -- intra-professional OR intraprofessional OR inter-physician OR interphysician OR communicat* -- should be OR'd with the transfer words.
(handoff* OR hand-off* OR "hand off" OR "hand offs" OR handover* OR hand-over* OR "hand over" OR "hand overs" OR turnover* OR turn-over* OR "turn over" OR "turn overs" OR transfer[tiab] OR transfers OR transferred OR transferring)
