Emergency room nurses waste significant time calling report to floor nurses, causing delays for patients in the waiting room, when most information is already in the documentation.

Phone-based report is manual, time-consuming, and duplicative when critical patient info is already documented in the EHR, but floor nurses still expect a verbal handoff.
