The CUBAN acronym is used in all types of report formats and stands for Confidential,Uninterrupted,Brief,Accurate,Named nurse.Following this format,the nurse giving report has a guide to remember the important data that need to be shared with the oncoming nurse who will care for the patient.Report should not be rushed in order for a nurse to finish the shift as quickly as possible.However,the nurse should try to begin report before the shift is over,early enough to complete report before the next shift begins.The CUBAN approach does not require walking rounds.The CUBAN acronym can be used for report about any patient regardless of race,ethnicity,or religion and does not necessarily provide cultural information.It is not specific to Latino patients.
