  • Title: Standardization of change-of-shift report.
    Author: Athwal P, Fields W, Wagnell E.
    Journal: J Nurs Care Qual; 2009; 24(2):143-7. PubMed ID: 19287253.
    Abstract:
    This article describes a clinical nurse-led initiative that changed the traditional group shift report in the conference room to a combination of a written report with a nurse-to-nurse verbal exchange at the patient's bedside. The new process resulted in less time spent in shift report, financial savings from reduced overtime, and a decrease in the number of patient falls and call lights during change of shift.
