It'd cost more money, but the solution here is overlapping shifts.
The reason shift handoffs go bad is it's usually a singular information dump right as the next round is getting into work mode.
Overlap by an hour, long enough to pair on a round or two, and that information is much more likely to get remembered.
I've been in hospitals a few times for shift changes and there have been a few times I've been the one to inform what the last shift was doing simply because it wasn't communicated.
We do need more shifts and almost as important we need shift overlap.
