Erica, thank you for choosing such a significant problem in the healthcare field as the topic for your paper. It is sad to witness first hands at times of how a patient will be treated after shift change report based off who is providing the care for them during that shift. I have quickly learned depending on which provider is on during my shift; my communication to the provider will vary depending on the provider’s preference. One provider will tell me to call them any time during my shift and one provider will say not to call them unless it’s a life-threatening situation. I really wish communication upon healthcare staff to be more linear and consistent for the safety our patients.
