Sand-Jeklin and Sherman (2014) studied seven medical-surgical units having a control group that carried out the normal routine and an experimental group that implemented bedside reports. At the conclusion of the experiment, there were some positive results such as better communication between nurses, increased patient involvement, and based on the study there were also fewer falls and medication errors. In contrast, the study showed that some nurses had negative attitudes toward the amount of time needed to complete bedside reports, and some nurses were inconsistent with the implementation of reporting (Sand-Jeklin and Sherman, 2014) . This study demonstrates that not only did bedside reporting have positive outcomes, but also that some nurses were dissatisfied with the format. Therefore, it is important for the consumer of the item to evaluate both the positive and negative aspects and identify what it might work for
