RN handoff of heparin infusion during transfer

Hello,

Do you have any policy/procedures at your institution requiring an RN to complete an in person handoff with heparin infusions (current rate, last ptt, last titration, etc) when the patient transfers, much like a controlled substance chain of custody handoff.

Your responses are appreciated,
Mara
