Information transfer in nursing can occur through various methods, including:
Verbal Handover: This usually happens during shift changes where outgoing nurses brief incoming nurses about patient status. Written Documentation: Includes patient charts, care plans, and discharge summaries that provide detailed information. Electronic Health Records (EHR): Digital systems that allow real-time access to patient information for all healthcare providers involved in a patient’s care. Interdisciplinary Meetings: Regular meetings between various healthcare professionals to discuss and update patient care plans.
