As per score of checklist achieved by samples to see the effectiveness of newly developed method of handover process. Pilot study was conducted to assess the feasibility of the tool and practibility. Data analysis was done using inferential and descriptive statistics. RESULT The study findings revealed that there was significance of effectiveness of newly developed method of handover charges on handover process at 0.05 level of significance. Two sample Z test was used to check the effectiveness of newly developed method of handover charges. Z value is 59.7 corresponding p value less than 0.05, hence null hypothesis was rejected.
