Our partners in the North Texas Division have implemented Pre-Rounding with each front line nurse prior to nurse leader patient rounds; with the end goal of improving patient clinical outcome and decreasing patient anxiety.
Pre-Rounding Consists of Three Questions:
1. Patient's preferred name
2. Personal connection
3. (In-Patient) How did the patient participate in Bedside Shift Report?
3. (Emergency Department) What is your patient waiting for in regards to tests and treatments?
Please make sure you are aware of the Pre-Rounding expectations and purpose.
Included for review and reference is an educational document on Pre-Rounding.
Thank you for your dedication to Patient Care!
