I am talking about from PACU to floor. Not so much a shift report. We have problems trying to call the floor and getting the receiving RN. They will be busy, (understandably so). But the OR's are calling out and we can't fill up in PACU and hold OR's. Not cost effective. Anyone work in the Perianeshesia area and can shed some light. thanks

I am interested to find information from anyone out there who work in the PACU area as to what they do for reporting to receiving floor RN's. We are interested in starting a pilot program in my hospital where we will do a bedside report on the unit rather than a phone report. Does anyone have any information? Thank you.
