Developing a minimum data set for electronic nursing handover

Abstract

The Nursing Handover Minimum Data Set for electronic nursing handover complements verbal handover and provides a tool to give clinicians access to comprehensive information about all patients within the ward area.

Nursing handovers: An integrative review of the different models and processes available

“…There are generically 4 different styles of nursing handover, which include the verbal bedside handover, the tape‐recorded handover, the verbal handover, and the written handover (Bradley & Mott, ). Recently, some hospital units have used an electronic handover record that used a typed data printout as a verbal handover prompt (Johnson, Jefferies, & Nicholls, ). These verbal handover prompt sheets were found to be a valuable asset that assisted nurses to deliver a structured verbal handover (Johnson, Sanchez, & Zheng, ).…”

How to improve change of shift handovers and collaborative grounding and what role does the electronic patient record system play? Results of a systematic literature review

“…Depending on what information needed to be transmitted communication should be either verbal [51] or in writing [34] as free text or structured forms [41]. Four of the structured forms described in detail were derived from the SBAR method or modified it [45,55,56,58], but also other generic mnemonics [42,47,54], specific checklists [48,57] or minimum data sets [49,52] were used.…”

Perception of Patient Safety, Quality Improvement and Nursing Errors Issues among Undergraduate Nursing Students in Faculty of Nursing, Alexandria University, Egypt

“…Patient safety was defined by the IOM as -the prevention of harm to patients.‖ [ 1 ] Emphasis is placed on the system of care delivery that (1) prevents errors; (2) learns from the errors that do occur; and (3) is built on a culture of safety that involves health care professionals, organizations, and patients. [ [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Measuring Safety Darker and colleagues (2011) [ 11 ] developed a framework for measuring patient safety in two categories. The first is valid rate-based measures that are readily available to answer the questions -How often do we harm patients?‖ and -How often do we provide the interventions the patient should receive?‖ (Darker, et al, 2011(Darker, et al, , p. 1603.…”
