Running head: PROJECT CHANGE 1 Improving Patient Care through Bedside Report Chelsea Mull Grand Canyon University NRS 493 Professional Capstone and Practicum Prof. Colleen Darrow September 23, 2020 PROJECT CHANGE 2 Background Current evidence shows that one of the primary goals of healthcare organizations is to provide high-quality care to patients. By providing high-quality care to patients, healthcare institutions not only contributed to the overall well-being of a country but also improve the productivity of its citizens. The latter concept of improving the quality of care is often associated with improvement in patients’ experience as well as their satisfaction while undergoing treatment. Patient care is a broad concept in healthcare. It entails various aspects including treatment, prevention, management of illnesses, and the maintenance of physical and mental well-being through various services within a healthcare setting. In addition to this, patient care also entails healthcare activities related to enhancing safety, reducing pain, pallor, and pulse to improve their conditions. However, patient care is not always a smooth process as it experiences numerous challenges, including disconnections in terms of doctorpatient communication, especially when bedside reports are poorly handled. Current research, therefore, proposes that with effective bedside shift reporting, patient care can be improved in the healthcare system. Therefore, this paper seeks to analyze how patient care can be enhanced through effective bedside shift reporting. Clinical Problem Statement Effective communication and a good doctor-patient relationship are vital to the success of treatment plans. Through the two aspects, doctors can acquire adequate information, especially regarding a patient’s history, to effectively provide the right diagnosis. With an effective diagnosis, appropriate treatment is administered, resulting in the effective management and treatment of illnesses. Bigani and Correia (2018) noted that incidences of healthcare personnel dissatisfaction are common in the healthcare sector and majority of them PROJECT CHANGE 3 are rooted in the provision of inadequate information by patients. Further, the latter incidences have also become rampant with the use of electronic health records as healthcare personnel rarely make efforts to note their patient’s history, especially when they have to attend to many patients. As a result of this, healthcare professionals have numerous information gaps that affect their treatment programs’ effectiveness and the quality of care delivered. Therefore, a shift in the manner of patient-information collection and recording is necessary to solve the existing gap in quality patient care. Purpose of the Change Proposal Habitually, healthcare facilities are mostly focused on increasing the quality of care and revenue generation while ignoring the issue of nurse and patient satisfaction in patient care. While nurses’ and patients’ satisfaction is fundamental to improve healthcare organizations’ productivity and performance, the change proposal could revolutionize the healthcare sector by improving the effectiveness of patient care delivery.
