do we need?

CASE BRIEF

Who follows up on the test result?

The shift is ending. A patient’s test result is still pending. Nobody has agreed who will check it.

What you did well

You identified both the pending test result and the missing follow-up plan. Saying “I can’t see who will follow it up” made the uncertainty explicit without blaming your colleague. This gave the conversation a specific issue to resolve, rather than leaving the receiving team to infer what was missing.

Areas for improvement

You identified the gap, but your response stopped short of asking for a plan. Explain that the team needs to know who will check the result after the shift changes. Then ask directly: “Who will check it, and how will the receiving team hear back?” This turns an observation into a clear request for action.

Testing.

Knowledge testing is included. Add your own pre- and post-test questions.
