Improving Bedside Shift-To-Shift Nursing Report Process, Nina Herceg
Master's Projects and Capstones
The aim of the bedside shift-to-shift nursing report project is to increase patient satisfaction, improve patient safety and strengthen team work by improving the process of communication during shift change on the orthopedic unit. The goal is to put in place a standardized approach to hand-over communication between the staff at the change of shift. The project includes staff education sessions consisting of video, role playing, various print materials such as articles and a guide that includes key components of the bedside report. It will be implemented on a 48 bed orthopedic unit in a West Los Angeles hospital. Microsystem …
Handoff Communication In The Emergency Department, Kristen Matichko
Handoff Communication In The Emergency Department, Kristen Matichko
DNP Forum
The communication of patient information through use of handoff ensures continuity of care and patient safety. A study of hand-off reports between pre-hospital personnel and staff in the emergency department revealed a lack of complete or formal information dialogue. Nurses play a vital role in the process of communication and information exchange through the use of handoff despite minimal guidelines for that exchange in current nursing practice. The pre-hospital hand-off informational exchange impacts patient safety as well as the planning and implementation of nursing care based upon that information.
The sample used was from a convenience sampling of patients arriving …

Improve Intra-Operative Nurse-To-Nurse Communication Using A Safety Checklist, Silvinita Tadeo Rowe
Doctoral Projects
Poor and inadequate handoff, or transfer of care of the surgical patient care from the primary to the relief operating room registered nurse circulators, can result in irreversible patient harm, or sentinel events, such as retained foreign items. In this study, Rogers' diffusion of innovation theory was the framework for implementing the handoff safety checklist. Also, Donabedian's structure process and outcome was the model to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and improvement in the quality of patient handoff communication and improvement of nurse satisfaction over time. Nineteen-statement surveys, conducted at multiple timeframes, were completed by volunteer operating room nurse participants. In …

Improving Transitions Of Care In The Perioperative Setting, Brian Wayne Selig
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
It is estimated that nearly 200,000 Americans die each year due to preventable medical mistakes (Gupta, 2012), and nearly 80% of all medical errors involve some form of miscommunication between healthcare providers (Joint Commission Center for the Transformation of Healthcare, 2013). Handoffs, or the transitioning of patient care from one provider to another, occur multiple times each day in the hospital setting and done incorrectly can lead to significant mistakes in patient care.
The purpose of this project was to improve the quality of handoffs that occurred between perioperative and inpatient nurses at an urban, tertiary medical center. A shared …

The Joint Commission's review of sentinel events indicated that communication errors were the cause of over 65% of the sentinel events occurring in healthcare. The nursing profession has the responsibility of providing 24-hour care in an acute care setting and nurses are …
The Impact Of Implementing Bedside Report To Transition Patients Across Units, Tonya Johnson
The Impact Of Implementing Bedside Report To Transition Patients Across Units, Tonya Johnson
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Evidence supports bedside report as a mechanism to improve communication, patient safety, quality of report, and nurse and patient satisfaction when implemented in a closed unit. The purpose of this project was to examine the impact of implementing a bedside report process to transition patients from the emergency department to a medical-surgical unit. Specifically, the goal was to analyze the impact of a bedside- reporting process on patient progression and on nurse and patient satisfaction. Lewin's change model provided the theoretical framework for this quasi-experimental study. Patient progression data consisted of 706 patient transitions from the emergency department to the …
