It is important that they know how to tag people, as the tags that they receive indicates how urgent that they need care. The nurse is also … [Read more…]
Presenting Change
I think that this dissemination project helped me to better understand the importance of bedside reporting.

I have taken part in a bedside report once, and I noticed that it … [Read more…]
