Study: Satisfaction, Outcomes Improved When Shift Handovers Done at Bedside

A new study has found that nurses can reduce errors and improve resident satisfaction by doing shift handovers at the bedside rather than at nurses' stations.

Care is more efficient and accurate when both the incoming and outgoing nurse can visually assess the resident, according to the study. The residents also report feeling less anxious and more engaged in their care when nurses did bedside meetings at shift changes.
