Okay, so I'm having trouble writing all the details and absorbing the information during the change-of-shift report. The nurses speaks TOO FAST like they assume I know the patient already. I always rush to write everything and miss details.
I'm considering resolving this issue by taping my specific patient's report on the "voice recorder" function on my Android smartphone. I would then plug in my earphones and play it back in case I think I miss something. Since nurses seem to somehow take 2-5 minutes on one report for a patient I think I will be alright listening it back with my voice recorder without wasting too much time.
Do you think this is an okay resolve for my problem? Am I breaking any HIPAA rules? I will definitely trash the voice recording after the clinical.
I need some advice on this. I don't know what else to do because I'm having trouble writing everything down while listening to what they are saying. And, it could be really disorganized the way some of them give report.
