A crucial aspect of nursing is ensuring continuity of care. This fundamental principle was emphasized during my first year of nursing school. However, in recent months, I have witnessed a concerning trend where shift changes have led to a disruption in this essential continuity. Transitioning from one nurse to another should not equate to a disruption in care, loss of information, or deviation from the established plan. Yet, I have encountered numerous instances where crucial details about my son's care were overlooked, resulting in missed medications, incorrect feeding schedules, and other critical errors. Continuity of care demands a seamless handover process, where each incoming nurse is fully informed and prepared to continue the patient's care without any gaps. It is imperative that every nurse reads and understands the patient's current reviews and notes before initiating care, demonstrating accountability and diligence. Effective communication, thorough handovers, and meticulous attention to detail are paramount. Neglecting these aspects can have irreversible consequences for patients and their families. Let us prioritize better nursing care, advocate for patient safety, and uphold quality standards in every aspect of our practice. Here's an example of an SBAR shift handover we can learn from.
