Background: As inpatient medical care has increased in complexity and fragmentation, rounding has become siloed away from patients and by discipline, resulting in disjointed and inefficient care models. In response, hospitalist groups across the country have been implementing unit-based rounding programs to centralize communication and align work-flow of health care team members. At UC San […]

In our hospital, M&M rounds are conducted by individual departments, selected from mortality cases and discussions are centred around a diagnosis or topic. There is increasing recognition that this is a missed opportunity for teaching […]
