Importance Of The End Of Shift Report
A proper end-of-shift report is a compilation of details recorded by a patient’s nurse. Written by nurses who are wrapping up their shifts and provided to those nurses beginning the next shift, these details should include a patient’s current medical status, along with his or her medical history, individual medication needs, allergies, a record of the patient’s pain levels and a pain management plan, as well as any discharge instructions. Without these details, a nurse could potentially endanger a patient’s life. The different needs of individual patients are best met when the nursing staff understands their current medical situations. An end-of-shift report allows nurses to understand where their patients stand in regard to recovery by providing a picture of a patient’s improvement or decline over the last several hours. By knowing what has previously occurred in a patient’s treatment plan, nurses can proceed with the right steps to contribute to positive outcomes.
