Statement of Concern:
We, the undersigned healthcare professionals, patients, family members, and concerned community members, respectfully submit this petition to express our strong support for improved hospital care through effective and standardized sign-out practices.

Safe and accurate patient sign-out is essential to continuity of care, patient safety, and clinical accountability. Inadequate or inconsistent sign-out can lead to communication failures, medical errors, delayed treatment, and compromised patient outcomes.

Our Request:
We call upon hospital leadership to support and implement the following:

1. Establish and enforce a standardized sign-out system across all departments.

2. Ensure 100% compliance with sign-out protocols during shift changes, referrals, and transfers of care.

3. Provide adequate staffing, time, and training to allow thorough and accurate sign-outs.

4. Monitor compliance and outcomes to continuously improve patient safety and quality of care.

5. Support a culture where clear communication and patient safety are prioritized.

Purpose:
This petition reflects our collective commitment to safer hospital care, reduced medical errors, and better outcomes for patients. By strengthening sign-out practices, we can protect both patients and healthcare workers.
