1IMPROVING SHIFT HAND-OFF COMMUNICATION OF NURSESThe delivery of the safe and proper form of healthcare is of extreme importance to thehealth of the patients. However, it has been seen that there are a wide range of the issuesregarding the safety that has been challenging the healthcare delivery and therefore many of thepersonal and organizational strategies are been developed for promoting the safety of the patients(Bowersox, 2016). The shift handover is a very common form of tradition among the nurses. However, thestandards and the effective way of handover are to process the information about the skills forthe communication that are not at all taught in a formal manner during the education for nursing.Nevertheless, the nurse tends to learn such things during their daily form of practice andtherefore gains a lot of experience (Serksnys Nanchal & Fletcher, 2017). The primary form ofgoals that are needed for the shift handover is to have a proper communication with the patientand to provide a safe and high quality form of care. However, the poor information that exists inthe communication during the non-standard and the ineffective form of the handover of shiftscan eventually endanger the safety of the patients (Foster-Hunt et al., 2015). There are evidences that show that there are ineffective form of handover of the shifts that caneventually increase the risk of the medication error and the sentinel form of the events that tendsto delay in the course of the treatment that decreases the satisfaction of the patients and have aprolonged form of stay at the hospital. It has been found, in a case of pregnant woman the resultshave shown a significant form of correlation that exists between the number of shift handoversand the unplanned form of the caesarean deliveries. It was later found out that the quality of thereport of shift change can lead to the delay in the care of nursing by two to three hours (SerksnysNanchal & Fletcher, 2017).
