Need help with teaching report giving.....

We are looking for some kind of nifty sheet or form that we can use with our new grads to help them learn to give report in a thorough and timely fashion...anyone out there have one so we don't have to reinvent the wheel? Thanks a million in advance.

I once had a report sheet that listed pt. name, age, diagnosis, physicians, diet, allergies, there was a place for medical history, then each major body system.

There was another section for labs and we always reviewed orders from the last chart check. That seemed to be a comprehensive report. This was ICU btw.

We have a sheet like that for our new people. It has a space for meds, feeds, labs, etc.
