Utilizing Handoff Reporting Tools to Improve the Novice Nurse's Workflow
1Kristelle Garcia, MSN, RN, CMSRN, NPD-BC, is a Clinical Education Specialist, in Paterson, New Jersey.
Abstract:
The novice nurse is task oriented and requires guidance to recognize connections in clinical practice. Novice nurses must learn to prioritize, organize, and differentiate between information that is "nice-to-know" versus "need-to-know" to deliver competent nursing care. Nursing literature makes evident that utilizing communication frameworks increases the delivery of clear communication and improves patient outcomes. Novice nurses require a comprehensive handoff-reporting tool to prompt the novice to engage in critical thinking and facilitate communication within their practice.
