Abstract
A growing body of evidence identifies transitions of care as vulnerable points in the care continuum where vital information is often omitted and inadequate communication occurs. Nurse shift report has been identified as a vulnerable communication point. Specifically, research has suggested that more effective communication between healthcare providers can improve care to patients and subsequently result in better outcomes. Problem: Nurse shift report lacks consistency and is not done at the patient bedside. An effective nurse bedside shift report process that provides a focused assessment of key items and involves patients is essential.
The purpose of this evidence-based practice project is to examine the PICOT question: Among adult patients on a medical surgical unit, how does the use of a standardized nurse bedside shift report process compared to other nurse shift report processes improve communication patterns, nurse satisfaction, and patient involvement over 3 months?
