Background: Interprofessional rounds have the potential to improve patient safety, quality, and experience. Although increasingly implemented, significant variation in rounding practice patterns exist and few data are available to evaluate impact on patients’ experiences. We implemented a novel inpatient collaborative care (CC) model, which includes interprofessional rounds, and also purposely integrates patients and families into […]

Background: Despite the importance of sleep to recovery from acute illness and the patient experience, hospitalizations are far from restful. Currently, Medicare focuses on noise, but other disruptions to patient sleep such as lab draws, vitals and pain must also be considered. In order to improve in-hospital sleep via a patient-centered approach, it is important […]

Background: Accountable Care Units (ACUs) with Structured Interdisciplinary Bedside Rounds (SIBR® rounds) have shown significant improvements in throughput, clinical outcomes, and satisfaction. Yet, prior studies have noted difficulties achieving such improvements or sustaining them. Interdisciplinary rounds are a predominantly physician-led teamwork process with efficacy vulnerable to inconsistent physician leadership and engagement. Our hospital had previously […]

History suggests those on the frontline of disasters are at risk of burnout, depression, post- traumatic stress disorder, and in grim cases—suicide. (3) The current […]
