PFE 2: Shift Change Huddles / Bedside Report PfP Metric Language Hospital conducts shift change huddles and bedside reporting with patients and family At MCNA, shift change huddles were hard-wired; bedside report was not Fall 2015: Set Bedside Handoff Report as a strategic priority Jan 2016: Education and Implementation
PFE 2: Shift Change Huddles / Bedside Report, 2 PROBLEM STATEMENT 68% OF 3000 reported sentinel events were caused by miscommunication of health care providers during handoff (American Medical Association, 2012) Failure to communicate understandably created misunderstandings in discharge care resulting in readmissions that could have been avoided (Evans et al, 2012) Handoff report has historically taken many different forms and lacks continuity and formal education (Street et al, 2011) an estimated 80 percent of all sentinel events are cause by miscommunication between caregivers at hand-off report The Joint Commission (Zhani, 2012)
PFE 2: Shift Change Huddles / Bedside Report, 3 OBJECTIVES Nurses will identify reasons and guidelines for implementation of bedside handoff of care on completion of required education. Nurses will demonstrate desired handoff procedure, identifying pertinent information using a standardized form of communication. Nurses will demonstrate engagement with patients at bedside during bedside report allowing patient participation in plan of care. Nurse Managers will inquire about bedside reporting and assess patients opinions during rounding.
