By establishing a control and experimental group, the team will know what effects any changes had on the staff and patients. Standardized surveys create comparable reports. Bribing a team member to complete a task without standardized expectations and measurable effects does not promote sustained quality improvement. Asking visitors results in a random sample with potentially skewed perspectives and lacks control comparison. Relying on patient survey to determine if bedside report was completed could result in inaccuracies, as patients may not be aware of the facility’s standards for bedside reporting.
