Zusammenfassung	The Clinical Handover Quality Scale (CHQS) is a comprehensive framework and measurement tool for assessing the quality of clinical handovers—the critical communication process by which responsibility for a patient's care is transferred from one provider or team to another. Handovers occur multiple times daily in healthcare settings (shift changes, patient transfers between units, discharge planning, procedure-to-recovery transitions) and are recognized as high-risk moments for communication breakdown, incomplete information transfer, and consequent patient harm. The CHQS measures handover quality across dimensions including information content, clarity, timeliness, opportunity for questions, and documented understanding. It is used in hospitals, operating rooms, and intensive care units to assess handover effectiveness and to guide improvement in standardized handoff protocols such as SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation).	The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) is a 60-item self-report instrument developed by Sexton and colleagues in the early 2000s to measure organizational safety culture in healthcare settings. Adapted from crew resource management research in aviation, the SAQ assesses clinician and non-clinician perceptions of safety attitudes across six key dimensions. It is widely used in hospital quality improvement and research to identify gaps in safety culture and benchmark institutional performance.
