PICO Worksheet
What is the PICO question? Does the use of a standardized
bedside report versus board reporting help
increase patient safety, nurse’s satisfaction and positive
outcome?
Define each element of the question below:
P- (Patient, population, or problem): patients and nurses
I- (Intervention): bedside reporting
C- (Comparison with other treatment/current practice): bedside
reporting
O- (Desired outcome): Increase in patient’s safety, satisfaction
and outcome.
What is the practice issue/problem? Bedside reporting has been
an issue in practice to this day. It serves as open communication
between
nurses at shift change, allowing nurses to exchange necessary
patient information to ensure continuity of care and patient
safety. It also allows
the patient the ability to contribute to his or her plan of care.
Most importantly, it allows the oncoming nurse an opportunity
to meet, assess the
patient and ask questions. Unfortunately, not all nurses are
being compliant with this practice for that reason I chose this
topic to help and
encourage nurses the importance of bedside reporting.

“Value of Bedside
Shift Reporting” is a
study to explore
nurse’s experiences
and perceptions
associated with
implementation of
bedside nurse-to-nurse
shift handoff
reporting. The authors
used interviews to
conduct this
qualitative study that
was undertaken in an
inner city, acute care
teaching hospital. The
sample was adequate
for the design that
consist of female
participants from
different clinical
cohorts: general
surgery (16),
nephrology (10), OB
and Respirology (7)
and average working
as a nurse was 0.5-41
years. The authors
noted that the study
has limitations due to
the study participants
came from 1 hospital
and most of the
responses were
positive about the
change. The study
findings were stated
clearly and concluded
how nurses positively
viewed the change
and implementation of
bedside reporting in
sense of improving
patient safety and
enhancing their
accountability.
The research article
covers the importance
of bedside reporting in
clinical practice. The
study highlighted both
nurses and patient
positive outcome
about the change to
bedside reporting. The
information in the
article is about the
study conducted was
enough information
that cover my
proposed intervention.
The interview consists
of two data set (1)
clarifying information
and intercepting errors
and (2) visualizing
patients and
prioritizing care. Both
themes of the study
reflect positive
outcome and provides
opportunity for nurses
to make change based
on the safety benefits
that promotes
wellbeing of the
patients. In addition,
the results of the study
prove that
implementing this
practice to my
organization will
improve patient flow
and allow immediate
identification,
intercept and correct
medical errors. Being
an ED nurse, I can
take advantage of this
practice since I am
working in a fast-
paced environment
and time is vital. I
must know my
patients in short time
and by doing bedside
reporting, I will be
able to assess and
triage my patients
accordingly. Authors
recommended the
need to continue to
invest in building
organization and the
importance to learn
effective strategies for
transferring
information regarding
patient care during
handoff.

“Bedside Shift Report
Improves Patient
Safety and Nurse
Accountability” is an
Article that was
written on behalf of
Emergency Nurses
Association. An
article that was based
in EBP about the
importance of Bedside
reporting in the
Emergency
Department. The
quality of the article is
good because it
discussed the benefits
to the staff and
patients. Lastly, the
authors of the article
provided information
about how to
implement bedside
reporting and tips for
success in the
practice.
The article provided all the
information about my
project problem and
proposed intervention and
outcome. According to the
article “Patient safety” is
the main reason why we
strive to implement bedside
reporting especially in the
ED. It is a fact that ED is a
high-risk environment in
which safety factors must
be considered. Factors
included: multiple nurses
care for a single patient,
high acuity patients with
rapid decision of care with
time constraints, high
volume of patient flow
with unpredictable illness
and communication
barriers to patient and
families. With all these
factors, bedside reporting
can alleviate the stressful
environment in the ED
because it’s an excellent
way to build teamwork,
ownership and
accountability. In addition,
the article also included in
respond directly to The
Joint Commission’s
National Patient Safety
Goals including goal
#1 :“Improve the accuracy
of Patient identification”
because reporting at
bedside, I will able to meet
the patient and checking
the armband for
identification, goal 2E “
Improve effectiveness of
communication among
caregivers managing hand-
off communication” in
which it gives opportunity
to ask questions and
clarification and lastly goal
# 13 “Encourage patients’
active involvement in their
own care as a safety
strategy” in which patients
can give additional
information and
opportunity to update about
their plan of care. These
safety goals correspond to
intervention and desired
outcome. Moreover, the
article provided great tips
on how to implement
bedside report in the ED
such as reviewing patients
chart before entering the
room, ability to perform
safety checks such as fall
risks, medications,
diagnostics/ test performed
while updating the
whiteboard, and lastly can
educate the patient about
the latest update of their
treatment plan. Being an
ED nurse, this article is a
great source and provided
abundant information that
supports my intervention
and outcome.

The quality of
evidence in regards to
my project is High.
The article provided
enough evidence as to
the cause of the
problem, challenges
and benefits and
provided research
study to address the
issue. The authors
provided sample
surveys for Obstetrics
unit measuring nurse
job satisfaction. It
consists of 10
questions to improve
shift-to-shift
communications
between nurses, health
team members and
patients on the
separate units (labor
and delivery, nursery,
and postpartum). The
article also provided a
Sample hand-off
report sheet for Labor
and Delivery and
sample protocol for
hand-off bedside
report on an
obstetrics. In
conclusion, the article
support my
intervention that
bedside reporting is an
issue and must able to
adopt this practice to
promote safety
standards.
The information in the
article is relevant to
the problem since it
provided many facts
on bed side reporting.
It starts out with
background
information to key
research findings to
challenges nurses face
today while
conducting bedside
reporting. Validation
of accurate
information between
shifts promotes patient
safety. Another benefit
of bedside reporting is
the nurses’ ability to
streamline their work
and avoid unnecessary
overtime. The article
points out several
factors with the
implementation of
bedside reporting-
formulate a committee
that include nurses and
other team members.
Second, develop a
measurable goal and a
clear plan. Third, a
tool must be
developed for use
during end shift report
and lastly, educate the
nurses and implement
the process in the unit.
In addition, the
authors discussed that
appropriate protocols
must be established
during the transition
using patient-centered
care is necessary.

recommendation
supports bedside
reporting as best
practice standard
however further
investigations need to
be done especially the
challenges which
includes potential
violation of HIPAA.

Research: Peer-reviewed
article
“Handing Off Safety
at the Bedside” is an
article that describes
how bedside nurses
can use nursing
bedside shift report to
keep patient safe. A
study was conducted
in a 31-bed pediatric
unit with patients ages
from birth-18 years.
Nurses cared for 3-4
patients at a time and
bedside reporting was
established on this
unit approximately 4
years prior to study
and had been
“hardwired” into the
unit process and
culture. The
population of this unit
(N=47), mostly
female. Data was
collected for 6 months
through semi-
structured interviews.
The primary
contribution of this
study is a description
of how nurses use
bedside report to keep
patients safe. The
quality of evidence of
this article in regards
to my problem is
High.
The information in this
article provides facts
of the importance of
bedside reporting. It is
a nurse driven process
and reinforcement of
bedside report process
can impact patient
safety and promote
patient satisfaction.
The study provided
three main advantages
emerged at bedside:
early assessment,
direct visualization
and single patient
focus. In conclusion,
the article clearly
stated that the Bedside
report is a tool by
which, at the change
of shift, can promote
patient safety by
identifying risks
specific to their patient
and reduce the
possibility of harm and
good outcome. It can
also recover from
errors and decrease the
risk of harm both
immediately and
ongoing throughout
the shift.

“Bedside Shift Report
Improves Patient
Safety and Nurse
Accountability” is an
Article that was
written on behalf of
Emergency Nurses
Association. An
article that was based
in EBP about the
importance of Bedside
reporting in the
Emergency
Department. The
quality of the article is
good because it
discussed the benefits
to the staff and
patients. Lastly, the
authors of the article
provided information
about how to
implement bedside
reporting and tips for
success in the
practice.
The article provided all the
information about my
project problem and
proposed intervention and
outcome. According to the
article “Patient safety” is
the main reason why we
strive to implement bedside
reporting especially in the
ED. It is a fact that ED is a
high-risk environment in
which safety factors must
be considered. Factors
included: multiple nurses
care for a single patient,
high acuity patients with
rapid decision of care with
time constraints, high
volume of patient flow
with unpredictable illness
and communication
barriers to patient and
families. With all these
factors, bedside reporting
can alleviate the stressful
environment in the ED
because it’s an excellent
way to build teamwork,
ownership and
accountability. In addition,
the article also included in
respond directly to The
Joint Commission’s
National Patient Safety
Goals including goal
#1 :“Improve the accuracy
of Patient identification”
because reporting at
bedside, I will able to meet
the patient and checking
the armband for
identification, goal 2E “
Improve effectiveness of
communication among
caregivers managing hand-
off communication” in
which it gives opportunity
to ask questions and
clarification and lastly goal
# 13 “Encourage patients’
active involvement in their
own care as a safety
strategy” in which patients
can give additional
information and
opportunity to update about
their plan of care. These
safety goals correspond to
intervention and desired
outcome. Moreover, the
article provided great tips
on how to implement
bedside report in the ED
such as reviewing patients
chart before entering the
room, ability to perform
safety checks such as fall
risks, medications,
diagnostics/ test performed
while updating the
whiteboard, and lastly can
educate the patient about
the latest update of their
treatment plan. Being an
ED nurse, this article is a
great source and provided
abundant information that
supports my intervention
and outcome.

“Handing Off Safety
at the Bedside” is an
article that describes
how bedside nurses
can use nursing
bedside shift report to
keep patient safe. A
study was conducted
in a 31-bed pediatric
unit with patients ages
from birth-18 years.
Nurses cared for 3-4
patients at a time and
bedside reporting was
established on this
unit approximately 4
years prior to study
and had been
“hardwired” into the
unit process and
culture. The
population of this unit
(N=47), mostly
female. Data was
collected for 6 months
through semi-
structured interviews.
The primary
contribution of this
study is a description
of how nurses use
bedside report to keep
patients safe. The
quality of evidence of
this article in regards
to my problem is
High.
The information in this
article provides facts
of the importance of
bedside reporting. It is
a nurse driven process
and reinforcement of
bedside report process
can impact patient
safety and promote
patient satisfaction.
The study provided
three main advantages
emerged at bedside:
early assessment,
direct visualization
and single patient
focus. In conclusion,
the article clearly
stated that the Bedside
report is a tool by
which, at the change
of shift, can promote
patient safety by
identifying risks
specific to their patient
and reduce the
possibility of harm and
good outcome. It can
also recover from
errors and decrease the
risk of harm both
immediately and
ongoing throughout
the shift.

“Value of Bedside
Shift Reporting” is a
study to explore
nurse’s experiences
and perceptions
associated with
implementation of
bedside nurse-to-nurse
shift handoff
reporting. The authors
used interviews to
conduct this
qualitative study that
was undertaken in an
inner city, acute care
teaching hospital. The
sample was adequate
for the design that
consist of female
participants from
different clinical
cohorts: general
surgery (16),
nephrology (10), OB
and Respirology (7)
and average working
as a nurse was 0.5-41
years. The authors
noted that the study
has limitations due to
the study participants
came from 1 hospital
and most of the
responses were
positive about the
change. The study
findings were stated
clearly and concluded
how nurses positively
viewed the change
and implementation of
bedside reporting in
sense of improving
patient safety and
enhancing their
accountability.
The research article
covers the importance
of bedside reporting in
clinical practice. The
study highlighted both
nurses and patient
positive outcome
about the change to
bedside reporting. The
information in the
article is about the
study conducted was
enough information
that cover my

prioritizing care. Both
themes of the study
reflect positive
outcome and provides
opportunity for nurses
to make change based
on the safety benefits
that promotes
wellbeing of the
patients. In addition,
the results of the study
prove that
implementing this
practice to my
organization will
improve patient flow
and allow immediate

study to explore
nurse’s experiences
and perceptions
associated with
implementation of
bedside nurse-to-nurse
shift handoff
reporting. The authors
used interviews to
conduct this
qualitative study that
was undertaken in an
inner city, acute care
teaching hospital. The
sample was adequate
for the design that
consist of female
participants from
different clinical
cohorts: general
surgery (16),
nephrology (10), OB
and Respirology (7)
and average working
as a nurse was 0.5-41
years. The authors
noted that the study
has limitations due to
the study participants
came from 1 hospital
and most of the
responses were
positive about the
change. The study
findings were stated
clearly and concluded
how nurses positively
viewed the change
and implementation of
bedside reporting in
sense of improving
patient safety and
enhancing their
accountability.
The research article
covers the importance
of bedside reporting in
clinical practice. The
study highlighted both
nurses and patient
positive outcome
about the change to
bedside reporting. The
information in the
article is about the
study conducted was
enough information
that cover my
proposed intervention.
The interview consists
of two data set (1)
clarifying information
and intercepting errors
and (2) visualizing
patients and
prioritizing care. Both
themes of the study
reflect positive
outcome and provides
opportunity for nurses
to make change based
on the safety benefits
that promotes
wellbeing of the
patients. In addition,
the results of the study
prove that
implementing this
practice to my
organization will
improve patient flow
and allow immediate
identification,
intercept and correct
medical errors. Being
an ED nurse, I can
take advantage of this
practice since I am
working in a fast-
paced environment
and time is vital. I
must know my
patients in short time
and by doing bedside
reporting, I will be
able to assess and
triage my patients
accordingly. Authors
recommended the
need to continue to
invest in building
organization and the
importance to learn

“Bedside Shift Report
Improves Patient
Safety and Nurse
Accountability” is an
Article that was
written on behalf of
Emergency Nurses
Association. An
article that was based
in EBP about the
importance of Bedside
reporting in the
Emergency
Department. The
quality of the article is
good because it
discussed the benefits
to the staff and
patients. Lastly, the
authors of the article
provided information
about how to
implement bedside
reporting and tips for
success in the
practice.
The article provided all the
information about my
project problem and
proposed intervention and
outcome. According to the
article “Patient safety” is
the main reason why we
strive to implement bedside
reporting especially in the
ED. It is a fact that ED is a
high-risk environment in
which safety factors must
be considered. Factors
included: multiple nurses
care for a single patient,
high acuity patients with
rapid decision of care with
time constraints, high
volume of patient flow
with unpredictable illness
and communication
barriers to patient and
families. With all these
factors, bedside reporting
can alleviate the stressful
environment in the ED
because it’s an excellent
way to build teamwork,
ownership and
accountability. In addition,
the article also included in
respond directly to The
Joint Commission’s
National Patient Safety
Goals including goal
#1 :“Improve the accuracy
of Patient identification”
because reporting at
bedside, I will able to meet
the patient and checking
the armband for
identification, goal 2E “
Improve effectiveness of
communication among
caregivers managing hand-
off communication” in
which it gives opportunity
to ask questions and
clarification and lastly goal
# 13 “Encourage patients’
active involvement in their
own care as a safety
strategy” in which patients
can give additional
information and
opportunity to update about
their plan of care. These
safety goals correspond to
intervention and desired
outcome. Moreover, the
article provided great tips
on how to implement
bedside report in the ED
such as reviewing patients
chart before entering the
room, ability to perform
safety checks such as fall
risks, medications,
diagnostics/ test performed
while updating the
whiteboard, and lastly can
educate the patient about
the latest update of their
treatment plan. Being an
ED nurse, this article is a
great source and provided
abundant information that
supports my intervention
and outcome.

“Handing Off Safety
at the Bedside” is an
article that describes
how bedside nurses
can use nursing
bedside shift report to
keep patient safe. A
study was conducted
in a 31-bed pediatric
unit with patients ages
from birth-18 years.
Nurses cared for 3-4
patients at a time and
bedside reporting was
established on this
unit approximately 4
years prior to study
and had been
“hardwired” into the
unit process and
culture. The
population of this unit
(N=47), mostly
female. Data was
collected for 6 months
through semi-
structured interviews.
The primary
contribution of this
study is a description
of how nurses use
bedside report to keep
patients safe. The
quality of evidence of
this article in regards
to my problem is
High.
The information in this
article provides facts
of the importance of
bedside reporting. It is
a nurse driven process
and reinforcement of
bedside report process
can impact patient
safety and promote
patient satisfaction.
The study provided
three main advantages
emerged at bedside:
early assessment,
direct visualization
and single patient
focus. In conclusion,
the article clearly
stated that the Bedside
report is a tool by
which, at the change
of shift, can promote
patient safety by
identifying risks
specific to their patient
and reduce the
possibility of harm and
good outcome. It can
also recover from
errors and decrease the
risk of harm both
immediately and
ongoing throughout
the shift.

of shift, can promote
patient safety by
identifying risks
specific to their patient
and reduce the
possibility of harm and
good outcome. It can
also recover from
errors and decrease the
risk of harm both
immediately and
ongoing throughout
the shift.

“Value of Bedside
Shift Reporting” is a
study to explore
nurse’s experiences
and perceptions
associated with
implementation of
bedside nurse-to-nurse
shift handoff
reporting. The authors
used interviews to
conduct this
qualitative study that
was undertaken in an
inner city, acute care
teaching hospital. The
sample was adequate
for the design that
consist of female
participants from
different clinical
cohorts: general
surgery (16),
nephrology (10), OB
and Respirology (7)
and average working
as a nurse was 0.5-41
years. The authors
noted that the study
has limitations due to
the study participants
came from 1 hospital
and most of the
responses were
positive about the
change. The study
findings were stated
clearly and concluded
how nurses positively
viewed the change
and implementation of
bedside reporting in
sense of improving
patient safety and
enhancing their
accountability.
The research article
covers the importance
of bedside reporting in
clinical practice. The
study highlighted both
nurses and patient
positive outcome
about the change to
bedside reporting. The
information in the
article is about the
study conducted was
enough information
that cover my
proposed intervention.
The interview consists
of two data set (1)
clarifying information
and intercepting errors
and (2) visualizing
patients and
prioritizing care. Both
themes of the study
reflect positive
outcome and provides
opportunity for nurses
to make change based
on the safety benefits
that promotes
wellbeing of the
patients. In addition,
the results of the study
prove that
implementing this
practice to my
organization will
improve patient flow
and allow immediate
identification,
intercept and correct
medical errors. Being
an ED nurse, I can
take advantage of this
practice since I am
working in a fast-
paced environment
and time is vital. I
must know my
patients in short time
and by doing bedside
reporting, I will be
able to assess and
triage my patients
accordingly. Authors
recommended the
need to continue to
invest in building
organization and the
importance to learn
effective strategies for
transferring
information regarding
patient care during
handoff.

“Bedside Shift Report
Improves Patient
Safety and Nurse
Accountability” is an
Article that was
written on behalf of
Emergency Nurses
Association. An
article that was based
in EBP about the
importance of Bedside
reporting in the
Emergency
Department. The
quality of the article is
good because it
discussed the benefits
to the staff and
patients. Lastly, the
authors of the article
provided information
about how to
implement bedside
reporting and tips for
success in the
practice.
The article provided all the
information about my
project problem and
proposed intervention and
outcome. According to the
article “Patient safety” is
the main reason why we
strive to implement bedside
reporting especially in the
ED. It is a fact that ED is a
high-risk environment in
which safety factors must
be considered. Factors
included: multiple nurses
care for a single patient,
high acuity patients with
rapid decision of care with
time constraints, high
volume of patient flow
with unpredictable illness
and communication
barriers to patient and
families. With all these
factors, bedside reporting
can alleviate the stressful
environment in the ED
because it’s an excellent
way to build teamwork,
ownership and
accountability. In addition,
the article also included in
respond directly to The
Joint Commission’s
National Patient Safety
Goals including goal
#1 :“Improve the accuracy
of Patient identification”
because reporting at
bedside, I will able to meet
the patient and checking
the armband for
identification, goal 2E “
Improve effectiveness of
communication among
caregivers managing hand-
off communication” in
which it gives opportunity
to ask questions and
clarification and lastly goal
# 13 “Encourage patients’
active involvement in their
own care as a safety
strategy” in which patients
can give additional
information and
opportunity to update about
their plan of care. These
safety goals correspond to
intervention and desired
outcome. Moreover, the
article provided great tips
on how to implement
bedside report in the ED
such as reviewing patients
chart before entering the
room, ability to perform
safety checks such as fall
risks, medications,
diagnostics/ test performed
while updating the
whiteboard, and lastly can
educate the patient about
the latest update of their
treatment plan. Being an
ED nurse, this article is a
great source and provided
abundant information that
supports my intervention
and outcome.

Research: Peer-reviewed
article
The quality of
evidence in regards to
my project is High.
The article provided
enough evidence as to
the cause of the
problem, challenges
and benefits and
provided research
study to address the
issue. The authors
provided sample
surveys for Obstetrics
unit measuring nurse
job satisfaction. It
consists of 10
questions to improve
shift-to-shift
communications
between nurses, health
team members and
patients on the
separate units (labor
and delivery, nursery,
and postpartum). The
article also provided a
Sample hand-off
report sheet for Labor
and Delivery and
sample protocol for
hand-off bedside
report on an
obstetrics. In
conclusion, the article
support my
intervention that
bedside reporting is an
issue and must able to
adopt this practice to
promote safety
standards.
The information in the
article is relevant to
the problem since it
provided many facts
on bed side reporting.
It starts out with
background
information to key
research findings to
challenges nurses face
today while
conducting bedside
reporting. Validation
of accurate
information between
shifts promotes patient
safety. Another benefit
of bedside reporting is
the nurses’ ability to
streamline their work
and avoid unnecessary
overtime. The article
points out several
factors with the
implementation of
bedside reporting-
formulate a committee
that include nurses and
other team members.
Second, develop a
measurable goal and a
clear plan. Third, a
tool must be
developed for use
during end shift report
and lastly, educate the
nurses and implement
the process in the unit.
In addition, the
authors discussed that
appropriate protocols
must be established
during the transition
using patient-centered
care is necessary.
Article
recommendation
supports bedside
reporting as best
practice standard
however further
investigations need to
be done especially the
challenges which
includes potential
violation of HIPAA.

Research: Peer-reviewed
article
“Handing Off Safety
at the Bedside” is an
article that describes
how bedside nurses
can use nursing
bedside shift report to
keep patient safe. A
study was conducted
in a 31-bed pediatric
unit with patients ages
from birth-18 years.
Nurses cared for 3-4
patients at a time and
bedside reporting was
established on this
unit approximately 4
years prior to study
and had been
“hardwired” into the
unit process and
culture. The
population of this unit
(N=47), mostly
female. Data was
collected for 6 months
through semi-
structured interviews.
The primary
contribution of this
study is a description
of how nurses use
bedside report to keep
patients safe. The
quality of evidence of
this article in regards
to my problem is
High.
The information in this
article provides facts
of the importance of
bedside reporting. It is
a nurse driven process
and reinforcement of
bedside report process
can impact patient
safety and promote
patient satisfaction.
The study provided
three main advantages
emerged at bedside:
early assessment,
direct visualization
and single patient
focus. In conclusion,
the article clearly
stated that the Bedside
report is a tool by
which, at the change
of shift, can promote
patient safety by
identifying risks
specific to their patient
and reduce the
possibility of harm and
good outcome. It can
also recover from
errors and decrease the
risk of harm both
immediately and
ongoing throughout
the shift.

Define each element of the question below: P- (Patient, population, or problem): patients and nurses I- (Intervention): bedside reporting C- (Comparison with other treatment/current practice): bedside reporting O- (Desired outcome): Increase in patient’s safety, satisfaction and outcome. What is the practice issue/problem? Bedside reporting has been an issue in practice to this day. It serves as open communication between nurses at shift change, allowing nurses to exchange necessary patient information to ensure continuity of care and patient safety. It also allows the patient the ability to contribute to his or her plan of care. Most importantly, it allows the oncoming nurse an opportunity to meet, assess the patient and ask questions. Unfortunately, not all nurses are being compliant with this practice for that reason I chose this topic to help and encourage nurses the importance of bedside reporting.
