Psych Shift Report Sheet - Need Help!

Published

Hello! My unit is in the process of revamping our end of shift nurse hand of sheet. I was wondering if any of you used something similar and would want to share a template/picture of it. Our current sheet includes room number, patient name, age/sex, diagnosis, admit date, d/c date, medical issues, isolation, fall risk, safety exception, court status, compel orders and group appropriateness. We also include a small blurb about why they were admitted and any new pertinent behavioral issues important to be passed down from shift to shift. Our charge nurse updates it each shift and staff use it to give report.

Thanks! I appreciate the help!

We have EMR where we are so most of that information is already generated then we add notes about the patient's day, labs, discharge plan etc.....We are required to give report from the EMR and our brain sheets get shredded at the end of each shift due to HIPAA
