How's your nursery work?

Looking for ideas to improve communication between pediatricians and nurses, but mostly improve report from the couplet nurse to the nursery nurse. Our babies room in 24/7 but come to the "nursery" for exams/screenings. We have a huge dry erase board for the basics, like blood type and I/o, but the process of relaying information to each other is painful. The couplet nurse isn't expected to report to the pediatrician but will if she has time.

How are other nurseries run and what do you do to keep everyone happy?

    Do you have paper charting or an EHR? EHR should be able to spit out a report for the peds. Why can't the MD's do their exams at moms' bedside?

    Yes, our pedis assess at the bedside. It's a good opportunity for parents to ask questions and for the pedi to assess bonding, parental knowledge, etc.

    We do an annoying combo of paper and EHR charting. The pedis just ask us for any info that they can't find themselves.

    We also have an informal "crib chart" that stays in the bassinet. Feeds, changes, vitals/weights etc are all written here (at least in theory) so that the info is easily accessible.

    Our newborns are taken after birth to the nursery for their injections and eye ointment , assessment bath THEN back to mom eventually.
