SYSTEMATIC REVIEW APPRAISAL & GRADING CRITERIA
APA Reference:
1. What organization or persons produced the systematic review (SR)?(6pts)
Courtney L. Williams
Cardiac Telemetry Unit, Lakeland Health, Saint Joseph, Michigan, USA
2. How many persons were involved in conducting the review? (6pts)
Sam Abraham, Associate Professor of Nursing, 1001 Bethel Circle, Bethel College School of Nursing, Mishawaka, Indiana, 46545, USA.
3. What topic or question did the SR address? (6pts)
Comparison of Risks and Benefits of Bedside Shift Report vs Traditional Shift Report
4. How were potential research reports identified? (6pts)
The quality of care, safety risks, and occurrence of medical errors have been linked to inadequate communication between nurses during shift change. Historically, shift reports took place at nursing stations and not at the patient's bedside, which could lead to interruptions, elongated processes, and inaccurate reporting (Reinbeck & Fitzsimons, 2013). Although bedside shift reporting has been introduced in the nursing field, there are still challenges that pose a risk to patients. Nurses are often uninformed about the advantages and disadvantages of bedside and traditional shift reporting.
5. What determined if a study was included in the analysis? (6pts)
Extensive research on the topic of bedside shift report, traditional shift report, risks of shift reporting, and communication was conducted by reviewing scholarly and peer-reviewed journal articles from 2013 to 2018. The literature was subjected to a careful analysis and was systematically organized using the top four levels of the evidence hierarchy.
6. How many studies were included in the review? (6pts)
A total of 8 studies were included:

…minimize medical errors, safety hazards, and enhance the quality of care. Inconsistency in the use of BSR within healthcare organizations requires changes to be made in order to meet industry standards. With bedside report, the nurse is able to physically assess the patient within the first 30 minutes of their shift, assess any potential risks to the patient, ensure the patient is aware of their caregiver, and activate the bed alarm to prevent falls and further harm. The maintenance of BSR in the acute-care environment may be challenging. For BSR to be sustained as part of nursing practice, leadership from management and senior nurses will be necessary. The implementation of BSR is recognized as the standard of care that provides the highest degree of patient safety and patient-centered care.1) A comparison of the risks and benefits of nursing bedside shift report vs. traditional shift report: A systematic review of the literature. https://doi.org/10.20849/ijsn.v3i2.382

Systematic review of isolation policies in the hospital management of methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus: A review of the literature with epidemiological and economic modelling The rise of MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) continues to be a problem in hospitals throughout the world. In the article entitled "Systematic review of isolation policies in the hospital management of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus" Cooper (et al. 2003) conducted a literature review of various containment efforts in the
With the rapid increase in the research conducted on health sciences, there is difficulty for researchers and clinicians to be up-to-date with the studies. Therefore, reviews that give a summary of the impact of different intervention experiments are a greatly efficient way to come up with a conclusion of what is effective and what isn't. Systematic reviews are different from the traditional kind in many ways. According to Petticrew and

O'Meara stresses that a system known as a Decision Support System of DSS can be integrated into existing it to identify potential errors that could be made on any given case and provide the staff with flags to help them avoid such errors. (December 2007, pp. 970-979) DSS technology can seriously improve the chances that patients will not receive inadequate care or that services and potential challenges to them get
They added newer constructs to a PSC model developed earlier by Gershon and his colleagues (2000), which unveiled the relationship of safety and security aspects and linked it with work performance. They found that when hospital staff used the Gershon tool there was considerable increase in the patient safety culture. They concluded that the health care decision makers when using Gershon safety tools, which appear to have sufficient reliability
Patient care and recovery statistics demonstrate that the United States has a medical care system with which Americans are less satisfied than other citizens in developed countries. There are many reasons for this: correlation between health and socioeconomic status; non-universality; federal government is not involved in medical planning although it purchases a large percentage of the 14% health care GNP; lobbying and special interest group interference; and political opposition to
