6. Overview of IHT complication types

At this juncture, we will highlight specific IHT complication groups and types. Because the overall topic is quite vast, we will only "scratch the surface" of the different categories of patient safety events that can occur during intrahospital transfers. Rich referencing will be provided so that the reader can consult with source studies and manuscripts. To further compensate for lack of granularity, we will encourage our readers to think more broadly and to instead apply the principles learned throughout this and the other chapters of the Vignettes in Patient Safety cycle.
