What is The Quest for Excellence: A Quality Improvement Project on the Effects of a Standardized PACU/Phase II Bedside Report in a High Turnover Pediatric Ambulatory Surgery Center about?

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of an evidence-based standardized bedside report within a pediatric ambulatory surgery center on length of handoff time, registered nurse (RN) workflow, and patient and family satisfaction. Design: Quality improvement project using an evidence-based standardized bedside report intervention with pre-and postimplementation evaluation of process and outcome measures. Methods: In January 2019, a unit-based task force evaluated ways to improve current report process and consistency of communication between staff and families. Time from admit into Phase II until nursing handoff was measured pre-and postimplementation. Nursing workflow was measured by time to first RN assessment after admit to Phase II and the postimplementation nursing survey. Patient and family satisfaction were measured pre-and postimplementation from National Research Council Health. Findings: Postimplementation, average handoff times decreased by 30%; average time from admit to the Phase II unit until the nursing handoff decreased by 28%. From the postimplementation RN survey, 100% RNs: (1) felt standardized bedside report had a positive impact on their workflow, (2) expressed confiden
