HealthcareShift Handoff & Communication3MediumNurse$ implied
Nurses are receiving incomplete or rushed shift handoffs, forcing them to spend significant time piecing together what was done versus what was charted.
Existing handoff methods (verbal updates, paper brain sheets) lack structure and completeness, relying on the outgoing nurse's discretion and time pressure, leading to critical information being missed and unnecessary rework.
