To determine whether obstetric handoff quality differs morning versus evening, weekend versus weekday, or based on provider type. ⋯ Based on criteria developed for this study, handoff quality may vary based on time of day and provider type. These findings present an opportunity to further assess reasons for variation and propose changes to standardize and improve the handoff process.
