Shift handoff report
A shift handoff report summarizes what happened during one shift so the next team, the manager and the client know the current state: open issues, incidents, visitors, equipment and anything unfinished.

Why it matters
Without a handoff, knowledge lives in someone's head and leaves with them. Paper logbooks and verbal updates are slow to write, hard to search and easy to skip.
The best reports are built from what was actually recorded during the shift rather than from memory, and are written for the reader: a different level of detail for the employee, the manager and the client.
