### Streamline Nursing Shift Handoffs with a Professional Digital Report

Hospital nursing shifts are critical junctures where patient safety depends on clear, complete communication. A **Hospital Nursing Shift Report** form ensures that every patient status update, medication administration record, vital signs alert, and incident is properly documented and handed off to the incoming team—without missing critical details in the rush of shift change.

Paperform's nursing shift report template replaces clipboards, paper forms, and scattered notes with a centralised digital system. Nurses can quickly log patient information, flag urgent concerns with conditional alerts, and generate clear handoff summaries that improve continuity of care. With calculation fields for tallying alerts and conditional logic to surface only relevant sections, this form adapts to the complexity of each shift.

#### Built for Healthcare Teams

Healthcare administrators, nurse managers, and bedside nurses can use this template to standardise shift reporting across units, reduce handoff errors, and maintain complete audit trails. Whether you're managing a medical-surgical floor, ICU, or specialty unit, this form captures the essential information needed for safe patient transitions.

#### Automate Handoff Workflows with Stepper

Connect this form to [Stepper](https://stepper.io) to automatically route urgent incident reports to nurse managers, send shift summaries via email or Slack to incoming nurses, log data in your hospital information system, and trigger follow-up tasks based on patient status. Keep your team informed and accountable without manual data entry.

#### Secure, Compliant Data Collection

Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant and offers robust security features to help protect patient information. While Paperform is not HIPAA compliant, it provides the security infrastructure healthcare teams need for internal reporting and operational workflows that don't require HIPAA guarantees.
