Hourly Rounding - is a powerful tactic to improve nursing and patient care excellence.
Studer Group partnered with the Alliance for Health Care Research (ACHR) to conduct the largest study ever complete to show evidence that certain nursing staff behaviors reduce call lights and allow us to respond more efficiently to patient requests.
This study, which is included in this interactive training tool, clearly demonstrates when nurses follow recommended behaviors and actions during their hourly rounds, call lights can be reduced as much as thirty-eight (38%). Additionally, organizations see:
- Improved Clinical Outcomes
- Decreased Risk Through Less Patient Falls and Hospital Acquired Decubuti
- Increased Patient Satisfaction
- Increased Employee Satisfaction
Hourly Rounding is key to the Studer Group Patient Care Model. This nursing model presents four tactics, which help achieve nursing and patient care excellence. Each is unique, but each has the common goal of driving patient care to the bedside. The model includes, (a) Hourly Rounding, (b) Individualized Patient Care, (c) Bedside Shift Report and (d) Discharge Phone Calls. Hourly Rounding is the recommended first step when implementing the patient care model.
The Hourly Rounding training is an interactive resource to be used in both nursing and ancillary staff and can be used in group training or self-directed learning situations. 50 participant guides and 50 pocket cards compliment the video/DVD and make the training interactive and complete. Highlights of the training session include:
- Individual Learning Session presented by Quint Studer
- Nursing Presentation of Hourly Rounding Behaviors presented by Lyn Ketelsen, RN, MBA
- Call Light Study presented by Chris Meade, PhD and Executive Director of AHCR
- Video vignettes to demonstrate patient interactions using eight rounding behaviors
- Specialty Unit Implementation
- Leader training with specific implementation steps and how to collect baseline data and track results
- Tools, resources and tips to hardwire the approach
