     Handover report: is the way of transferring professional

    Process of handover report

     A patient handover process focuses on the exchange of

     B: Background (discussion of the background and patient history).
     A: Assessment. (patient vital signs).
     R: Recommendations (orders that need to be completed).

    This way allows to report information in a systematic way and minimize


    confusion.
    Electronic handover

     It quick, easy access to the patient record by multiple


    caregivers in multiple places.
     It takes time for nurses to become enough experienced.
     It reduces duplication.

     Formal direction of handover would provide support to the
    nurses delivering handover.
     Feedback from staff is important to monitor effectiveness
    of handover.
    Conclusion
     For a report to be meaningful the information to the receiver has to be
    given in an effective way.
     Nursing handover using accurate and documented information promotes
    effective time management.
     Nurse staff should use different communication methods such as verbal,
    written, electronic or combination of them to achieve more effective
