Presenter: Janni Hedvig Ulrich 
Background: We found in both the theater and the bed ward that we didn’t have all the information needed or the patient wasn’t ready or informed as we would wish. Patients, who are going to get surgery in their thyroid, will have several transitions between departments. Therefore we decided to improve the transitions between departments. To be able to improve the transitions between departments we needed information about the course these patients have and what information is needed in the different wards, to be able to give the patients the best treatment.
focus of interest: transitions between departments
theoretical framework: Make a standard plan.
Key words: Preadmission assessment, preliminary examination, Admission, discharge, check-up 

goals: Strengthening interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral cooperation, ensuring appropriate organization and coordination in the course of multiple transitions and for patient progress to be transparent to those involved in the patient's course.

methodology:This is a standard plan. In case of deviations based on the individual's needs, it is important to document this in EPR. (Electronic Patient Record)

Conclusions: A patient walk description clarifies transitions and responsibilities in transition between sections and what information is important in these transitions. There are many people involved in the transition between the Preadmission assessment, preliminary examination, Admission, discharge, check-up and therefore also a large quantity of information to pass on.
