For nurses to make informed and rapid decisions regarding appropriate patient care, information about all types of prescribed medications is essential, which is communicated in an explicit and clear way. Jargon and assumptions related to medication details should be minimised to reduce the risk of misunderstandings. Disclosure of structured medication information supports nurses to perform accurate patient assessments, make knowledgeable decisions about the appropriateness of medications and their doses, and anticipate possible adverse events associated with medications. In addition, benefits of patient and family member contributions in communicating about medications at handover should also be considered.

“…Confidentiality only refers to the protection of the informational-written or verbal-dimension. Because patients mostly refer to both elements as privacy, 18 and the terms are used interchangeable in nursing literature 19 and in literature concerning the bedside handover, 13,20 the term "privacy" will be used. Despite the difference in meaning, the impact of privacy and confidentiality on the use of bedside handovers in practice is exactly the same: they constitute an ethical hurdle to take.…”

Is privacy a problem during bedside handovers? A practice-oriented discussion paper

Bedside handover is the delivery of the nurse-to-nurse handover at the patient's bedside. Although increasingly used in nursing, nurses report many barriers for delivering the bedside handover. Among these barriers is the possibility of breaching the patient's privacy. By referring to this concept, nurses add a legal and ethical dimension to the delivery of the bedside handover, making implementation of the method difficult or even impossible. In this discussion article, the concept of privacy during handovers is being discussed by use of observations, interviews with nurses, and interviews with patients. These findings are combined with international literature from a narrative review on the topic. We provide a practiceoriented answer in which two mutually exclusive possibilities are discussed. If bedside handover does pose problems concerning privacy, this situation is not unique in healthcare and measures can be taken during the bedside handover to safeguard the patient. If bedside handover does not pose problems concerning privacy, privacy is misused by nurses to hide professional uncertainties and/or a reluctance toward patient participation. Therefore, a possible breach of privacy-whether a justified argument or not-is not a reason for not delivering the bedside handover.

“…The results indicated that bedside handover made patients feel less anxious because they knew that the nurses had a sufficient knowledge base about the condition, plan, and transition of care between shifts. Kerr's findings cited that when patients were able to listen during handover, they are more confident about the care they're receiving Patients valued bedside reporting as an opportunity to receive information, to correct errors and give additional information regarding their current state of health and current condition (Lu et al, 2014). Lu et al conducted a purposive sample study and interviewed patients (n=30) in an Australian hospital (medical, surgical and maternity wards), and investigated perceptions about bedside handover.…”

Shift handoffs were included in The Joint Commission's 2009 National Patient Safety Goals, which requires that shift hand-offs must include up-to-date information about the care, treatment, current condition, and recent or anticipated changes with the patient. Bedside reporting addresses The Joint Commission's Goal 13, a safety strategy that encourages the patient's active involvement in care. The demand for quality care while caring for the sick population with multisystem complex diagnoses calls healthcare provides to look at ways to provide more efficient care while improving patient safety and outcomes.Bedside reporting is one nursing intervention which can be implemented to Results overall revealed that although many nurses were aware of the benefits of bedside reporting and its practical uses, most nurses still were hesitant with its daily practice. Despite strong evidence demonstrating the benefits of bedside reporting, many issues still remain regarding the sustainability after implementation.
