Abstract:
The nursing handover report is a vital method of passing on essential information to nurses on the next shift. Nursing handover reports traditionally take place in private; they can become lengthy, irrelevant or unprofessional. Alternative methods of handover, such as bedside reporting, or tape-recording or writing reports, can help refine the process and make it more relevant to practice.
