Standardized Interdisciplinary Rounds
Standardized Interdisciplinary Rounds
Oksana Sutton, RN
4 West

Standardized Interdisciplinary Rounds (SIDRs) were implemented in many hospitals in the USA and abroad for decades to ensure patients safety. However, this practice is inconsistent on the Medical-Surgical Unit at HMC. The health care delivers this kind of performance when processes are not standardized.
The present study was designed to evaluate the perception of randomized group of patients, medical and nursing staff in Medical-Surgical Unit regarding the role of SIDRs for improving patients’ safety and satisfaction. In order to comply with requirements of the research methods, different approaches to collect data were implemented to ensure the accuracy of the data. For example, the data was collected from a randomized group of physicians (3 hospitalists and 4 surgeons), 17 nurses from all three shifts (day, evening, night), and 16 patients from a different age categories and educational backgrounds. The survey, designed for participants, included the questions to evaluate their perception of benefits as well as barriers to the implementation of SIDRs on 4West.
What is good about this situation?
1. Patients, medical and nursing staff are supporting SIDRs.
2. Staff approached the idea of SIDRs with a patient-centered philosophy.
3. Implementation of SIDRs do not require a large financial investment.
What should be happening instead of what did happen? (How will I know if the problem is solved).
Physician comments were positive:
‘’ It insures that a nurse and a physician are on the same page.’’
‘’ I think, it is a very good idea and I support it. ’’
‘’ It will improve a team work and a patient safety.’’
‘’ It is a good practice.’’
Nurses commented with a mixed review:
‘’ Nurses are hesitant to follow physician during rounds.’’
‘’ Nurse is busy with other patient in an isolation room.’’
‘’ Nurse is unaware of rounds.’’
‘’ Nurses are intimidated by some physicians.’’
‘’ Nurses like to

    As noted in the rationale for Joint Commissions’ UP.01.01.01.01- UP.01.03.01, Universal Protocols are implemented most successfully in hospitals with a culture that promotes teamwork and where all individuals feel empowered to protect patient safety. Universal Protocols are critical for Nightingale Hospital because wrong surgical procedures result in sentinel events (an unexpected occurrence involving death or serious physical or psychological injury). Sentinel events are tracked through The Joint Commission sentinel event database. Increased sentinel events would reveal poor quality of care and lack of awareness for patient safety that Nightingale hospital provides to its patients.…

    Over the course of the past few months the public’s perception of nursing has slightly changed as a result of taking AHNR 2250. The public mainly focused on nurses as being a hand holder and someone to give encouragement to patients and families, but a nurse is so much more than that. The public realized that nursing was stressful and required problem solving skills, but the public did not quite realize all of the small mental notes that had to be accounted for while dealing with a patient. The public also did not realize that the nurse is the only health care provider that is with the patient twenty-four hours a day. There are rules that everyone has to abide by in everyday life, this is the same for nursing. Every hospital has its own rules…

    With all of the possible problems that could occur during surgery, a wrong-site, wrong-patient mistake is one that should never arise. Nightingale Community Hospital (NCH) fully understands the importance of doing away with these errors and has set up protocol to work towards this goal. While the protocol is in place, it is not fully compliant with Joint Commission (JC) standards.…

    Medicine has changed in the past years in many ways. With the change and inventions of new cures, technology, and less invasive procedures, medicine has become a whole different world. Though there has been many enhancements that increase the productivity and treatment outcomes in medicine, the delivery method and care has changed along with it, and not for always for the best. Hospitals are what people find security and safety from all illness and diseases they have come across, but with the change of the economy and budget cuts, the first thing to cut is patient care and service. When people think of hospitals they think of long lines, waiting for hours for a simple procedure or question, medications that aren’t helpful and no care or relationship with the doctor. Patients get less time with physicians and more time with physician assistants and nurses. Many hospitals and clinics have made it known at the first meeting that after the initial appointment, the remainder of appointments will be either with the nurse practitioner or physician assistant. With less care and relationship from the physician, patients start to wonder why pay high dollar for less service, and that’s where the issue arises.…
