Background: Prior studies have tested interventions to redesign aspects of the care delivery system for hospitalized medical patients, but the majority have evaluated the effect of single interventions. We sought to implement a set of complementary interventions and evaluate the effect on interprofessional teamwork and patient safety. Methods: The REdesigning SystEms to Improve Teamwork and […]

Background: Interdisciplinary clinical rounds at the bedside can promote the core principles of patient- and family-centered care, including promoting respect and dignity, information sharing, and participation by the patient in the care and decision making. However, despite rounding at the bedside, the patient can still be a bystander as the team presents a care plan […]

Background: Improving hospital throughput is a barrier facing medical facilities. Poor throughput leads to prolonged patient wait times for beds, a cause of patient complaints. Often these wait times are the result of late discharge times for admitted patients. One focus of multidisciplinary rounds is early discharge, hoping to get admitted patients to their beds […]

Background: Bedside rounds (BR) have been proposed as an ideal method to promote patient-centered hospital care. However, their effect on patient-centered outcomes is unclear. Our objective was to determine whether BR, when compared to other forms of hospital ward rounds, improve patient-centered outcomes. To accomplish this aim, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of […]

Background: Communication between patients, nurses and physicians is vital to patient care. Prior studies have shown that a substantial number of hospitalized patients do not understand their care plan and that physician-nurse co-location or time spent communicating have little impact on physician-nurse concordance of plan of care. To our knowledge, there have been no prior […]

Background: Rounds are critical for facilitating patient care, supporting interprofessional communication and providing education for trainees (1,2). Social distancing requirements in the era of COVID led to significant changes to the traditional rounding structure (3). The impact of these changes on patient care, interprofessional communication and education remain unknown. Methods: An interprofessional needs assessment was […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: Discharge planning should begin at the time of admission and involve preparing patients for the transition out of the hospital. Unfortunately, many hospitalized patients disagree with their provider about their discharge plan, including what needs to be accomplished in the hospital or the dismissal’s timing and location. When patients and their providers do not […]

Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: The discharge process is complex and high-risk. Clear and accurate communication between the physician or Advanced Practice Provider (providers), nurse, and patient are essential to ensure a safe and effective transition of care. Upon literature review, there have not been studies looking at interprofessional communication during the discharge process. Also, our institution (a large […]

Background: While there are now equal numbers of women and men graduating from medical school, disparities in female representation within academic medicine persist. Gender bias has been cited as one of the main drivers of gender disparity in academic medicine and continues to be a significant barrier for women in the workplace. Grand rounds is […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: To date, there are limited reports around the use of well-designed information technology tools to enhance throughput communication during interdisciplinary rounds (IDRs). In collaboration with our technology innovations center, we developed a Microsoft Teams IDR tool known as “NORA.” NORA is an automated process-oriented tool designed to extract patient summary information from electronic health […]
