This document discusses the benefits of implementing bedside shift reporting compared to reporting at the nurse's station. It identifies increased patient and nurse satisfaction as key outcomes of bedside reporting. Benefits for patients include feeling more involved in their care, safer, and more comfortable. Benefits for nurses include improved accountability, communication, and teamwork. The literature review found evidence that bedside reporting improves satisfaction scores, reduces errors and costs, and improves the nurse-patient relationship. Recommendations are made for hospitals to adopt standardized bedside reporting formats to realize these benefits.
