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 [...]

Background: Efficient discharge planning is crucial for improving hospital capacity strain and patient care. Multidisciplinary rounds (MDRs) have demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing communication and care coordination, but their impact on resident teaching teams has been less studied. The expected discharge date (EDD), among other key metrics in discharge efficiency, helps predict bed capacity, optimize patient [...]
