This document provides an overview of evidence-based practice (EBP) presented by Amritanshu Chanchal at Subharti Nursing College in Meerut. It defines EBP, discusses its components and key steps. The presentation covers asking questions using PICOT format, searching for evidence, critically appraising evidence, integrating evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences, evaluating outcomes, and disseminating results. Models for EBP are also introduced, including the Iowa Model which outlines identifying triggers for change, determining organizational priority, and forming an interdisciplinary team to develop, evaluate and implement EBP changes.
Nurses play an important role in empowering both patients and other nurses. They can empower patients by providing information on treatment options and supporting patients' rights to make their own healthcare decisions. Nurses can also empower themselves and their colleagues by using quality improvement data from sources like the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators to identify areas for practice improvement and develop action plans. Empowering patients through education and respecting their autonomy helps improve healthcare quality, while empowering nurses with data leads to higher job satisfaction and better patient outcomes.

Standardized Bedside ReportingOne of the goals of h.docxwhitneyleman54422
Standardized Bedside Reporting
One of the goals of healthcare is to ensure that the patients get the best service possible while not compromising on the satisfaction and goodwill of the nurses and other healthcare professionals. A key aspect of ensuring quality healthcare is the consistent handling of patient information from nurse to nurse during shifts; information handled wrongly can jeopardize the patients’ health (Baker, 2010). It is important to implement procedures that ensure consistent and smooth handling of patient information from nurse to nurse to increase patient safety and improve nurse satisfaction. This paper will explore the merits of standardized bedside reporting as opposed to board reporting in ensuring a positive outcome and consistent quality healthcare.
Change model overview
A key aspect in determining whether bedside shift reporting has any merits over board reporting is the John Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Process (JHNEBP). The John Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Process is a framework for guiding the translation and synthesis of evidence into valid healthcare practice. JHNEBP has three cornerstones that include research, education, and practice; the framework ensures that research evidence is the basis of clinical decision-making. (Dearholt & Dang, 2012) The implementation of the John Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Process has three key phases, the first phase is the identification of an important question, the second phase involves the systematic review of research evidence, and the third phase is translating the results into action. Nurses should use the JHNEBP process because it provides a clear way for healthcare professionals to translate research results into healthcare practice.
Practice Question
The team includes several key stakeholders who will benefit greatly from my research. Among the team members include myself as ER nurse, charge nurse, ERT ( Emergency room tech), nurse case manager, nurse supervisor, physician and hospital manager.
The evidence-based practice question that the team members will explore is "Does the use of a standardized bedside report versus board reporting help increase patient safety, nurse satisfaction, and positive outcome?" The evidence-based practice question assesses the ability of bedside shift reporting to improve healthcare provision. The practice area of the question is clinical. The practice issue came about because of assessing risk management concerns in ensuring good health practices. To answer the question, the team members gathered evidence from patient preferences, peer-reviewed journals, and clinical guidelines. The team members searched peer-reviewed journal databases to gather relevant information from previous research that could affect the results.
Understanding the merits of bedside shift reporting as opposed to board reporting is important as most healthcare organization use either strategy in collecting and passin.

Translating Evidence into Practice Data Collection Assignment.pdfsdfghj21
The document discusses planning for data collection in research. It provides a scenario where nurses are interested in assessing patient satisfaction at a primary care clinic. It asks the reader to generate questions for a patient satisfaction survey and plan for data collection. The reader is asked to write 5 questions, choose an appropriate data collection method, determine sample size, and explain how to ensure reliability and validity. The document also discusses translating evidence into nursing practice for a course project. It asks the reader to identify an evidence-based nursing practice from their literature review, explain how it improves outcomes, and how to disseminate it.
Develop a 2-4-page scholarly paper in which you describe a qualimackulaytoni
Develop a 2-4-page scholarly paper in which you describe a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis, and then identify and analyze credible evidence that could be used as the basis for applying EBP to the issue.
The goal of using evidence-based research findings is to enhance safety and quality of patient care and ensure optimal outcomes are achieved. It is not uncommon to hear a nurse say, "why change it as we’ve always done it this way." However, this is no longer acceptable in today's practice environment. The profession of nursing has evolved, and the expectation is that the professional nurse has a scientific foundation to support the care that is provided. As the profession of nursing continues to evolve and engage in health care transformation, baccalaureate-prepared nurses are expanding taking on leadership roles that include incorporating EBPs. To be able to do this, the nurse needs to understand the criteria and makes a resource credible, as this is crucial when deciding if the research is valid and reliable for implementation into health care settings.
It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health Determining the Credibility of Evidence activity prior to developing the report. The activity is a media simulation that offers an opportunity to review a scenario and work on determining the credibility of presented evidence. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 2 successfully. This media simulation is one potential source of context on which to base your assessment submission. This will take just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.
DEMONSTRATION OF PROFICIENCY
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:
Competency 2: Analyze the relevance and potential effectiveness of evidence when making a decision.

The document discusses evidence-based nursing practice. It defines evidence-based practice as integrating the best research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values and needs. The key steps in evidence-based practice are asking questions, acquiring evidence, appraising the evidence, applying it to a patient, and evaluating outcomes. Barriers to evidence-based nursing include lack of time and resources, as well as difficulties interpreting and applying research. Facilitators include administrative support and accessible, clearly written research. Maximizing evidence-based nursing requires overcoming barriers, incorporating different types of evidence, and accounting for issues beyond measurement like patient preferences.

Data Collection
Data collection methods vary greatly depending on the research question and the type of participants, regardless of chosen methodology, data collection must be rigorously executed to produce high-quality data. Similarly, instruments to collect data must provide accurate, concise, and provide quantifiable data from which clinical meaning can be extrapolated and subsequently applied to effect improvements in practice. In this case, research aims to assess patient satisfaction, from the patient’s perspective. Polit & Beck (2017), report that structured self-report instruments are widely used by nurse researchers, and are typically formatted as either questionnaires or interviews. Surveys provide several advantages. In comparison to interviews, they are cost-effective, maintain the anonymity of respondents, mitigate interviewer bias, and can be easily administered using computer technology. Disadvantages to surveys include low response rates; typically around 50%, exclusion of certain populations such as the elderly and children, questions may lack depth, or be ambiguous or confusing causing respondents to skip them altogether (Polit & Beck, 2017)
Survey Instrument
Low response rate remains a primary barrier in survey administration and efficacy. However, when surveys are personally distributed in a particular setting, in this case, the primary care clinic, response rates are significantly higher. Moreover, the personal nature of a survey tool being directly distributed to respondents has a positive effect on participants (Polit & Beck, 2017). Keough and Tanabe (2011) contend that although the data collected through surveys is not as scientific as data obtained through experimentation, it is nonetheless important and informs nursing practice. Because the clinic is interested specifically interested in understanding the patients’ point of view, I assert that a self-report survey tool should be designed using a Likert-type rating scale. The range of responses available to the participants provides greater insight compared to a simple closed-ended question. Moreover, rating scales are easy to complete and are also efficient. However, because people may misunderstand the concept of the Likert Scale, instructions and statements should be clear and c ...

Research studies show thatevidence-based practice(EBP) leads to higher qual-
ity care, improved patient out-
comes, reduced costs, and greater
nurse satisfaction than traditional
approaches to care.1-5 Despite
these favorable findings, many
nurses remain inconsistent in their
implementation of evidence-based
care. Moreover, some nurses,
whose education predates the in-
clusion of EBP in the nursing cur-
riculum, still lack the computer
and Internet search skills neces-
sary to implement these practices.
As a result, misconceptions about
EBP—that it’s too difficult or too
time-consuming—continue to
flourish.
In the first article in this series
(“Igniting a Spirit of Inquiry: An
Essential Foundation for Evidence-
Based Practice,” November 2009),
we described EBP as a problem-
solving approach to the delivery
of health care that integrates the
best evidence from well-designed
studies and patient care data,
and combines it with patient
preferences and values and nurse
expertise. We also addressed the
contribution of EBP to improved
care and patient outcomes, de-
scribed barriers to EBP as well as
factors facilitating its implementa-
tion, and discussed strategies for
igniting a spirit of inquiry in clin-
ical practice, which is the founda-
tion of EBP, referred to as Step
Zero. (Editor’s note: although
EBP has seven steps, they are
numbered zero to six.) In this
article, we offer a brief overview
of the multistep EBP process.
Future articles will elaborate on
each of the EBP steps, using
the context provided by the

Electronic Clinical Documentation with Clinical Decision.docxwrite5
This document provides guidance for an annotated bibliography assignment focusing on how technology can enhance quality and safety standards in nursing. Students are instructed to select a patient care technology, conduct research on it, and write a 4-6 page annotated bibliography summarizing and analyzing 4 peer-reviewed sources on how the selected technology impacts patient outcomes, nursing practice, and interdisciplinary teams. The annotated bibliography should justify implementing the technology in healthcare settings based on organizational factors and the technology's effects. Examples of potential topics for the bibliography are provided.
This document discusses a study that evaluated opportunities for improving nursing care related to patient safety indicators (PSIs) identified by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Medical records from over 2000 patients with PSIs were reviewed. The review identified areas where nursing documentation and practices could be strengthened to help prevent complications like central line infections, postoperative respiratory failure, and pressure ulcers. Improving documentation of things like line placement and temperature monitoring, and ensuring best practices for infection prevention and venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, could help reduce patient harm.
The document discusses various ways to evaluate the effectiveness of advanced practice nurses (APNs) through research. It notes that while some early research found APNs provided safe, effective, and cost-efficient care, more ongoing research is still needed. Specifically, more documentation is required on APN contributions, outcomes, quality of care provided, and how APNs work with other healthcare providers.

To be able to do this, the nurse needs to understand the criteria and makes a resource credible, as this is crucial when deciding if the research is valid and reliable for implementation into health care settings.
It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health Determining the Credibility of Evidence activity prior to developing the report. The activity is a media simulation that offers an opportunity to review a scenario and work on determining the credibility of presented evidence. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 2 successfully. This media simulation is one potential source of context on which to base your assessment submission. This will take just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.

The document discusses evidence-based nursing practice. It defines evidence-based practice as integrating the best research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values and needs. The key steps in evidence-based practice are asking questions, acquiring evidence, appraising the evidence, applying it to a patient, and evaluating outcomes. Barriers to evidence-based nursing include lack of time and resources, as well as difficulties interpreting and applying research. Facilitators include administrative support and accessible, clearly written research. Maximizing evidence-based nursing requires overcoming barriers, incorporating different types of evidence, and accounting for issues beyond measurement like patient preferences.

Data Collection
Data collection methods vary greatly depending on the research question and the type of participants, regardless of chosen methodology, data collection must be rigorously executed to produce high-quality data. Similarly, instruments to collect data must provide accurate, concise, and provide quantifiable data from which clinical meaning can be extrapolated and subsequently applied to effect improvements in practice. In this case, research aims to assess patient satisfaction, from the patient’s perspective. Polit & Beck (2017), report that structured self-report instruments are widely used by nurse researchers, and are typically formatted as either questionnaires or interviews. Surveys provide several advantages. In comparison to interviews, they are cost-effective, maintain the anonymity of respondents, mitigate interviewer bias, and can be easily administered using computer technology. Disadvantages to surveys include low response rates; typically around 50%, exclusion of certain populations such as the elderly and children, questions may lack depth, or be ambiguous or confusing causing respondents to skip them altogether (Polit & Beck, 2017)
Survey Instrument
Low response rate remains a primary barrier in survey administration and efficacy. However, when surveys are personally distributed in a particular setting, in this case, the primary care clinic, response rates are significantly higher. Moreover, the personal nature of a survey tool being directly distributed to respondents has a positive effect on participants (Polit & Beck, 2017). Keough and Tanabe (2011) contend that although the data collected through surveys is not as scientific as data obtained through experimentation, it is nonetheless important and informs nursing practice. Because the clinic is interested specifically interested in understanding the patients’ point of view, I assert that a self-report survey tool should be designed using a Likert-type rating scale. The range of responses available to the participants provides greater insight compared to a simple closed-ended question. Moreover, rating scales are easy to complete and are also efficient. However, because people may misunderstand the concept of the Likert Scale, instructions and statements should be clear and c ...

Grantham University Wk 11 Evidence Based Nursing Practice Discussion Question...write4
The document discusses evidence-based practice and the importance of integrating different types of evidence beyond just scientific research. It argues that evidence-based practice requires the expert judgment and knowledge of experienced clinicians, not just research evidence. True evidence-based practice considers both research findings as well as clinical expertise and patient preferences. The Iowa Model of evidence-based practice is presented as a framework to guide the implementation of evidence into clinical practice through identifying problems or knowledge triggers, forming teams, reviewing and critiquing research, and piloting changes.

The document discusses evidence-based practice and the importance of integrating different types of evidence beyond just scientific research. It argues that evidence-based practice requires the expert judgment and knowledge of experienced clinicians, not just research evidence. True evidence-based practice involves synthesizing knowledge from various sources, including research findings as well as clinical expertise. The Iowa Model of evidence-based practice is presented as a framework to help implement changes based on the best available evidence.
This document defines evidence-based nursing and its key components. Evidence-based nursing integrates the best research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values and preferences. It involves cultivating a spirit of inquiry, asking clinical questions, searching for evidence, critically appraising evidence, integrating evidence with expertise and patient preferences, evaluating outcomes, and disseminating results. Barriers to evidence-based nursing include lack of skills/time and organizational constraints, while supports include leadership, resources, and mentors.
This document discusses several studies and guidelines related to improving communication and patient education during triage in emergency rooms. It proposes an innovation to implement frequent communication and education with patients in triage and the emergency waiting room. The innovation would add policies to the triage procedures requiring nurses and staff to communicate with and educate patients every 60 minutes. It also outlines how to implement the changes using Kotter's model of organizational change management.

Research studies show thatevidence-based practice(EBP) leads to higher qual-
ity care, improved patient out-
comes, reduced costs, and greater
nurse satisfaction than traditional
approaches to care.1-5 Despite
these favorable findings, many
nurses remain inconsistent in their
implementation of evidence-based
care. Moreover, some nurses,
whose education predates the in-
clusion of EBP in the nursing cur-
riculum, still lack the computer
and Internet search skills neces-
sary to implement these practices.
As a result, misconceptions about
EBP—that it’s too difficult or too
time-consuming—continue to
flourish.
In the first article in this series
(“Igniting a Spirit of Inquiry: An
Essential Foundation for Evidence-
Based Practice,” November 2009),
we described EBP as a problem-
solving approach to the delivery
of health care that integrates the
best evidence from well-designed
studies and patient care data,
and combines it with patient
preferences and values and nurse
expertise. We also addressed the
contribution of EBP to improved
care and patient outcomes, de-
scribed barriers to EBP as well as
factors facilitating its implementa-
tion, and discussed strategies for
igniting a spirit of inquiry in clin-
ical practice, which is the founda-
tion of EBP, referred to as Step
Zero. (Editor’s note: although
EBP has seven steps, they are
numbered zero to six.) In this
article, we offer a brief overview
of the multistep EBP process.
Future articles will elaborate on
each of the EBP steps, using
the context provided by the
Cas.
Electronic Clinical Documentation with Clinical Decision.docxwrite5
This document provides guidance for an annotated bibliography assignment focusing on how technology can enhance quality and safety standards in nursing. Students are instructed to select a patient care technology, conduct research on it, and write a 4-6 page annotated bibliography summarizing and analyzing 4 peer-reviewed sources on how the selected technology impacts patient outcomes, nursing practice, and interdisciplinary teams. The annotated bibliography should justify implementing the technology in healthcare settings based on organizational factors and the technology's effects. Examples of potential topics for the bibliography are provided.
This document discusses a study that evaluated opportunities for improving nursing care related to patient safety indicators (PSIs) identified by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Medical records from over 2000 patients with PSIs were reviewed. The review identified areas where nursing documentation and practices could be strengthened to help prevent complications like central line infections, postoperative respiratory failure, and pressure ulcers. Improving documentation of things like line placement and temperature monitoring, and ensuring best practices for infection prevention and venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, could help reduce patient harm.
The document discusses various ways to evaluate the effectiveness of advanced practice nurses (APNs) through research. It notes that while some early research found APNs provided safe, effective, and cost-efficient care, more ongoing research is still needed. Specifically, more documentation is required on APN contributions, outcomes, quality of care provided, and how APNs work with other healthcare providers.

Assignment: Evidence-Based Project, Part 4: Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change
The collection of evidence is an activity that occurs with an endgame in mind. For example, law enforcement professionals collect evidence to support a decision to charge those accused of criminal activity. Similarly, evidence-based healthcare practitioners collect evidence to support decisions in pursuit of specific healthcare outcomes.
In this Assignment, you will identify an issue or opportunity for change within your healthcare organization and propose an idea for a change in practice supported by an EBP approach.
To Prepare:
Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you critically appraised in Module 4, related to your clinical topic of interest and PICOT.
Reflect on your current healthcare organization and think about potential opportunities for evidence-based change, using your topic of interest and PICOT as the basis for your reflection. Developing a Culture of Evidence-Based Practice
Consider the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an audience.

Facing Organ Donor Shortage, Patients Forced to Get Creative
.
The article
The Organ Shortage Crisis in America : Incentives, Civic Duty, and Closing the Gap
discusses how the cadaveric kidney donors are becoming insufficient to meet the needs of those in need of a transplant. The author states
“Nearly 120,000 people are in need of healthy organs in the United States (Flescher, 2018).”
It explains how they are trying to increase living donors to donate to those in need either related or unrelated (Flescher, 2018). The author states,
“Every ten minutes a new name is added to the list, while on average twenty people die each day waiting for an organ to become available.”
With that being said, some ideas include paying those for their kidneys or having them just spend a day at dialysis with a patient.
The article
Relieving the kidney donor shortage
, discusses how kidney transplantation is the only treatment for kidney failure. Having a kidney transplant is cheaper than dialysis, which is only a Band-Aid for kidney failure. Financial incentives are currently an idea to have the amount of living donors increase. This can be beneficial for both the donor and the recipient. The autho.

You will create a 10 minute virtual tour of a “cultural museum” that teaches your audience about a particular culture. The museum that you select must be within the United States. For example, The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Art Institute of Chicago, Ellis Island, Charles H. Wright African American Museum, etc. You will create a “virtual tour” of the museum by creating a PowerPoint presentation with at least one slide dedicated to each “room” of the museum. You must provide the history of the museum through the use of visual imagery. You might choose to display some of the objects/artifacts that would be included in the museum, audio or video clips related to the spaces, or text that might appear on the displays or signs at the museum. Be sure you have a title slide with the name of the museum you chose on it. Your final product should be very creative AND very realistic. You will have to do extensive research on the museum that you choose. Your audience should walk away from your presentation with the feeling that they have just left the museum. The audience should also gain new information about the culture that they did not know before your presentation. You will also need to submit a reference page using APA format. This should be primarily a visual tour. Please limit any text on slides to short headings and/or bullet points. I do not require any citations for images/photos.

The UN— “A More Perfect Union?”
Considering the readings, video presentations, and your own research, draft a quality 6–7-page research paper on the role, legitimacy, and authority of the UN according to the following prompts, answering in a separate or integrated manner as you wish.
Identify at least 3reasons that states might defend the intrinsic legitimacy of the UN as a governing authority. In reverse, identify at least 3reasons that states might criticize its legitimacy and authority.
In short, make an argument for the limits and possibilities of the UN as a legitimate governing authority in a world of sovereign states.
What is the relationship of the UN to the current international system of states?
Considering the reasons for the creation of the UN after WWII, does it seem driven by political necessity or the political utility? In plainer English, do states need the UN more than the UN needs the states? Or do states both large and small find the UN a useful tool for improving their relative power and legitimacy vis-à-vis other states and global institutions? Is there some position in-between?
Using other sources and extra-Scholar sources (The commentaries, teachings, other writings, etc.) to inform your own reasoning, comment on the compatibility with the idea of

. [
Attention
: The Instructor does not view the question as rhetorical, nor the answer self-evident. So, reason carefully.] For example, if the logic of collective action under the
Articles of Confederation
—the logic of state sovereignty—failed to secure American liberties as well as the ‘more perfect union’, the new Constitution established by the Framers in 1787 to replace it, effectively requiring states to cede sovereignty to a larger collective authority, why would the same logic of collective action not justify the UN as a ‘more perfect union’ to replace an anarchic system of sovereign states putting the world at risk in a nuclear age?

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

“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
9. 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.
10. 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
11. 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.

article
“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
12. 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
13. 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
14. 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
19. 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
20. good outcome. It can
also recover from
errors and decrease the
risk of harm both
immediately and
ongoing throughout
the shift.

“Value of Bedside

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)
23. and average working
as a nurse was 0.5-41
years. The authors
noted that the study
has limitations due to
the study participants

patients. In addition,
the results of the study
prove that
implementing this

an ED nurse, I can
take advantage of this
practice since I am
working in a fast-

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
27. 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
28. 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

high-risk environment in
which safety factors must
be considered. Factors
included: multiple nurses
care for a single patient,
55. 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

because it’s an excellent
way to build teamwork,
ownership and
accountability. In addition,
the article also included in

“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-
61. 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
62. 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
65. 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
66. study conducted was
enough information
that cover my

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
67. must know my
patients in short time
and by doing bedside
reporting, I will be
able to assess and

accordingly. Authors
recommended the
need to continue to

organization and the
importance to learn
effective strategies for
transferring
information regarding
patient care during
handoff.

quality of the article is
good because it
discussed the benefits
to the staff and

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
97. 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
98. 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

the article clearly
stated that the Bedside
report is a tool by
which, at the change
104. of shift, can promote
patient safety by
identifying risks
specific to their patient
