Evidence- Based Practice
My clinical issue of interest is how to prevent interruptions and distractions during nurse-nurse
handoff/bedside shift reports. The goal of the nurse bedside shift report, also known as the
handoff, is to guarantee safe continuity of care and implement best clinical practices by passing
on important patient information, duty, and accountability from one nurse to the next (Dorvil,
2018). Nurses find it challenging to perform an effective handoff due to interruptions or
distractions such as phone calls, bed alarms, changes in patient conditions, or nurse-nurse
interruptions leading to a breakdown in communication and medical errors affecting patient
safety.
