Clinic Chat Staff Shift Handover Checklist

Clinic chat staff shift handover checklist preserving shared inbox context between reception shifts

Searches like “LINE OA shift handover clinic,” “Instagram DM reception handoff checklist,” and “shared inbox end of shift dental” need a checklist — not verbal “I told her about that patient.”

Handoff context: handoff that preserves context. Weekend rota: clinic chat weekend surge rota.

Checklist

What every outgoing shift must leave behind

  • Open promises (quotes, slots, call-backs) with deadlines
  • Deposit holds and unpaid chase stage
  • Clinical / billing / complaint escalations in flight
  • Threads waiting on patient documents or photos
  • Stop-rules: no private phone screenshots as the only record

Training

Handover quality is a coachable skill

Ops

Handover assumes a shared inbox exists
