SBAR I: Understanding the Concept

Effective communication among healthcare professionals during hand-off reporting is essential to delivering safe and continuous patient care. Common professional interactions include reports to healthcare team members, hand-off, and transfer reports. Nurses routinely report information to other healthcare team members and also urgently contact healthcare providers to report changes in patient status.
Standardized methods of communication have been developed to ensure that information is...

Types of Reports I: Hand-off Report

A hand-off report, also known as a change-of-shift report, is a crucial nursing process that ensures the smooth transition of patient care responsibilities between nursing staff.
Following are the key components and categories of hand-off reports:

Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...
Planning Nursing Care I01:21

Planning Nursing Care I

The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...
Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Practice and Patient Safety
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Nursing inter-shift handover is critical for patient care continuity and safety.
  • Existing handover practices in a tertiary mental health institution required examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine current nursing handover processes.
  • To identify strengths and limitations of existing practices.
  • To implement and evaluate an evidence-based handover process to improve patient safety and service delivery.

Main Methods:

  • A 4-month project (August-December 2011) using Joanna Briggs Institute programs.
  • Implementation of evidence-based strategies including town hall meetings and education sessions.
  • Pre- and post-audit data collection on case handovers in four acute admitting wards.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements observed in compliance rates for standardized documentation (49%), patient identification (74%), patient history handover (31%), and detailed patient observations (18%).
  • Audit of 212 case handovers across four wards demonstrated positive impact of implemented strategies.

Conclusions:

  • Translating evidence into practice through ongoing, evidence-based audits can enhance nursing handover effectiveness.
  • Continuous evaluation and implementation of evidence-based handover processes are essential for improving patient safety and service delivery.
