Integrative Literature Review

161 Words1 Page

Matic et al. (2010) conducted an integrative literature review on bringing patient safety to the forefront through structured computerization during clinical handover. CINAHL, Medline, Embase, PubMed and World Wide Web were used to search articles from 1997 to 2008. Three hundred and four sources were retrieved including the published and grey literature. The key terms nursing handover, handoff, shift-to-shift reporting and change of shift report were used for searching along with manual searching, and 126 published articles were identified. This study had few strengths. Both experimental and non- experimental as well as commentaries and reviews, were included. This approach allows a less restrictive focus using the systematic review method

    Hi Mia, It is interesting to read how SBAR is utilized in other areas. AT YRMC in Yuma we use SBAR, but is relayed face to face or via phone. I agree with you that although it is a convenience to have the patient’s information faxed from the ED to the floor the patient is going to, I can see where this can pose a problem. There are many obstacles that the nurse may face in receiving or relaying a patient hand-off, these being “communication challenges [which] can be a result of human factors, such as poor communication skills; lack of resources to support communication training; lack of support for active communication in the clinical setting; or an inappropriate environment for handoff due to interruptions” (Cudjoe, 2016, p.1) all factors

    The overall synopsis gives prompt for the need of utilizing standardized handoff tools as well as negotiation of patient transfer among departments.

    Patient safety experts have demonstrated that “patient safety increases when teamwork and collaboration skills are taught and empowered; when teamwork and collaboration are not present, medical errors will result” (Creasia & Friberg, 201, p. 348). As a nurse, it is imperative to collaborate with other interdisciplinary members in health care and also strive to research and implement evidence-based practices. Evidence-based practice is necessary to “ensure the highest quality of cost-effective care and the best patient outcomes” (Fineout-Overholt, 2011, para. 16). With a collaborative and innovative attitude on safe health care practices, an increase in patient safety and effectiveness of care will

    Evidence based practice is the act of incorporating clinical expertise, best research evidence and patient values and preferences in delivering care. This system, as opposed to previous methods that used the same standard of care for each patient, evaluates treatment plans based on research and the practioners own experiences. The usual workup of this type of practice is to ask a series of “why” questions and meticulously observe patient patterns to paint a better picture of the environmental factors surrounding the patient’s condition. This method advanced treatment modalities as practioners were able to better incorporate external factors in the assessment. Previous styles of care such as defensive medicine, forced providers to aggressively

Additionally, the purpose of this paper is to explain and provide examples on how our patient care included the concepts of Quality and Safety Education for Nursing (QSEN) competencies, delegation, handoff reporting, and a reflection of the clinical experience. Quality and Safety Education for Nursing (QSEN) Competencies QSEN consists of six competencies: patient centered care, quality improvement, teamwork and collaboration, safety, informatics, and evidence based practice. To provide patient-centered care, I had to educate the patient when administering medications on why the patient was taking the medication and side effects.
