Which activity should be used to get report at the start of a shift?

The correct choice for obtaining a report at the start of a shift is the Shift Report activity. This specific activity is designed to facilitate a comprehensive handoff of information relevant to patient care, ensuring that incoming staff are fully briefed on the current status, needs, and any changes in their assigned patients. The Shift Report activity typically includes details like patient conditions, medications, and any pertinent notes from the prior shift, ultimately supporting a seamless transition of care.

While the Summary activity provides a general overview, it may not contain the specific details and context necessary for effective shift transitions. Other activities like Patient Overview might provide individual patient details, but they do not serve the strategic purpose of summarizing all relevant information across multiple patients as the Shift Report does. The Daily Update activity tends to contain broader or routine updates and is not focused specifically on the shift transition process. Thus, using the Shift Report activity ensures that staff members can deliver safe and informed care right from the start of their shift.
