Abstract/Description
The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of bedside shift report in the health care setting. This research will focus on an inpatient department, which is a 25-bed acute care unit with 4 special care beds. This department currently utilizes the SBAR method. However, this can improve when used in conjunction with bedside shift reports. The use of bedside shift report will improve communication and nurse-patient relationships, provide more patient privacy, and decrease time spent giving report. The use of bedside report may require a related intervention of patient teaching, so that the patient understands the purpose and benefits as well. Through utilization of three different theoretical frameworks along with evaluation of several experimental and research based articles, we evaluated the effectiveness of bedside shift report. Each of these articles performed their own research by adjusting from end of shift handoff to bedside shift report to show cost effectiveness, end overtime, reduce call light usage, and better patient care by involving the patient in the decision making process for care. The key results were improved patient and family satisfaction, reduced call light usage, end of shift overtime decrease, improved communication, and improved patient safety and outcome as a whole after implementation of bedside shift report. Therefore the hospital should implement bedside report in collaboration with the current SBAR method of shift report to improve communication, improve nurse-patient relationships, provide more effective patient privacy, create more efficient use of time, and allow the patient another way to be collaborative and included in their care based on the statistical and observational data/evidence presented.
