Book excerpt: Patient falls remain a common detrimental incident in an acute care setting. Studies have shown that inpatient falls are the second largest category of reported adverse events, and are estimated to cost more than $20 billion a year. It is predicted that the cost of fall injuries will reach $43.8billion dollars by 2020.Research had shown that implementing hourly rounding in an acute care setting will reduce harm to patients, and increase patient's satisfaction. Hourly rounding is a planned method by which nurses and other health care workers performed checks on patients at a given time to assess, and care their basic needs. The purpose of hourly rounding is to decrease harm to patients such as, falls, pressure ulcers, urinary tract infections, as well as increase patient's satisfaction. The aim is to explore the implementation and use of hourly rounding, and its effectiveness in improving patient care, decreasing hospital cost, and length of stay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient safety and satisfaction has been at the for-front of health care criticism for some time. The problem of patient safety is important to all health care workers and is often the reason why people study nursing in the first place, to keep the patients safe. The problem exists because patients continue to fall and often times are seriously injured. There are also concerns of patients not being turned and ending up with pressure sores. These problems result in poor patient satisfaction. Studies have shown that hospitals and rehabilitation facilities that have taken part in trials of hourly rounding by nurses and nursing personnel, have shown a decrease in the number of patient falls and an increase in patient satisfaction numbers. Implementing a plan for hourly rounding is necessary to improve patient safety, involving nurses checking on patients and observing patient's rooms and surroundings. After the plan is implemented, an evaluation of the process is required to determine if the process or plan has been effective. Evaluation is often skipped over in EBP research, however it is necessary to determine the effectiveness of the plan and to let others know the results of the trial. Shortly after the plan is evaluated, it should be disseminated to other nurses, stakeholders and the public in order for the information to be useful. Dissemination is also important because it allows nurses to see results of studies in a quick, efficient way without having to spend hours looking up the research themselves.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient satisfaction is an important component of patient-centered care. It is also a key determinant of quality, performance and structure within healthcare organizations. As a result, healthcare organizations are continuously seeking new ways to improve patient satisfaction, preferably with minimal use of resources or expenditures. Research has demonstrated hourly rounding to be a cost-effective, nurse led intervention that positively influences patient satisfaction (Petras, Dudjak and Bedner, 2013; Sherrod, Brown, Vroom and Sullivan, 2012; Brosey and March, 2015). Hourly rounding is a proactive approach to patient care where basic patient needs are anticipated and fulfilled through regularly scheduled checks by healthcare professionals. This evidence based practice (EBP) project proposes implementation of hourly rounding to improve patient satisfaction at Canyon Vista Medical Center's (CVMC) emergency department (ED). A thorough description of the problem and proposed solution will be discussed. A detailed implementation plan including rationale, evidence, approval, implementation logistics and resources will be provided. An evaluation plan consisting of evaluation tools and data collection methods will be presented in addition to a strategy for dissemination of findings to key stakeholders and the greater nursing community. Finally, a literature review including analysis and appraisal of fifteen peer-reviewed research articles on the topic of hourly rounding and patient satisfaction will be presented.

Book excerpt: Hospitals face increasingly high pressure to maintain quality care as evidenced by patient satisfaction as well as patient safety scores. The rigorous gravity of satisfaction and safety are factors that affect the return of satisfied patients and payment by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) (Hagland, 2011). Because nurses are seen as key providers and are the ones that are typically perceived as providers of timely pain management, ones who develop healthy, trusting relationships and communicators of much of the information that is provided in a hospital setting, many satisfaction scores are based on the quality of nurse care delivered. Due to the importance of nursing and their overall impact on patient's as well as hospital's bottom line, it imperative that the nurse excel at meeting and exceeding patient expectations. When nursing staff is overwhelmed and understaffed, the patient suffers. The suffering can cause longer stays and increased financial burden on the patient as well as the hospital. One way to improve outcomes is to design and implement an hourly or intentional rounding program to ensure that the patient's needs are being met and that patients feel well taken care of. There are different situations in a variety of facilities that can benefit from hourly rounding. The need to develop an program that is tailored to the necessities of a specific floor or unit is crucial in the success of the program. Based on research, hourly rounding can make a positive impact on patient and nurse satisfaction.

Book excerpt: The use of hourly rounding in nursing care has been supported by research and evidence-based practice to improve patient outcomes. Research has indicated that by regularly rounding on patients in a purposeful manner, such as addressing pain, toileting, positioning needs and placing important and personal items within reach of the patient decreases the incidences of patient falls and increases patient satisfaction (Meade, Bursell, and Ketelsen, 2006). An hourly rounding protocol already is in place at Hoag Hospital, but patient falls and hospital-acquired pressure ulcers still continue to happen. Hoag Hospital can greatly benefit by re-educating nursing staff and nursing assistants on proper hourly rounding protocol, including rationale for hourly rounding and important factors to address with patients. A chime will also be introduced to ring when hourly rounding is performed, every one hour for day shift and every two hours for night shift, to gently remind staff to round on their patients. The staff can also benefit by reinforcing the importance of hourly rounding through the yearly house side mandatory review session accessed through the hospital's intranet website. This proposal will include an implementation plan that shows the positive benefits implementing hourly rounding re-education given to nurses and nursing assistants has improved patient outcomes, specifically improved patient safety as seen by a decrease in falls, and improved patient satisfaction. In addition, evaluation of the findings as well as disseminating them to all unit department directors and the nursing community will be discussed.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fall related injuries are at the forefront in health care and as patients age this is of particular concern for hospital staff and Billings Clinic hospital is eager to find a solution. The literature does support that hourly rounding is an effective strategy for patent safety and preventing falls (Dyck, Thiele, Kebicz, Klassen, and Erenberg, 2013). This study will discuss some of the reasons that the research shows as to why patients continue to fall despite the attempts to keep them safe and if hourly rounding and education makes a difference in the safety of the patients in preventing falls (Tucker, 2012). The most common adverse event that occurs in hospitals that results in fear of falling, morbidity and mortality is patient falls. There are mixed findings regarding the populations that are at the most risk and there are studies conducted to see which interventions provide the best evidence based practice for the patient (Tucker, 2012). The hospital where this nurse works, Billings Clinic, is eager to augment other tools and evidence based research in order to work towards a solution to patient falls in the hospitalized patient. This paper seeks to answer the question: Among nursing staff caring for hospitalized patients, is hourly rounding and education more effective than PRN rounding and education in preventing falls and ensuring patient safety?

Book excerpt: Hourly Rounding, also known as intentional rounding, is a fairly new concept in many medical facilities. Hourly rounding consists of asking patients important questions each hour to help keep patients more comfortable while also maintaining safety during the hospital stay. In order to assist hourly rounding in becoming an even bigger part of the health care routine, data needs to be collected from studies to see how well it really works. By doing a study and tracking the results over a six-month time frame, it will not only help hourly rounding become implemented on that particular floor, but it could also lead to the implementation of hourly rounding in many other places. Evidence based practice runs the health care profession. Once a theory is proven to work or proven to be the safer method, it will be implemented in a larger setting. Hourly rounding is hypothesized to decrease patient falls, patient call lights, and increase patient safety and satisfaction. Before the study begins, the staff and supervisors will be educated on the topic as well as what is expected from hourly rounding. There will be a staff meeting with pamphlets, power point presentations, and additional time to ask any questions that may arise. Once the information from the study has been collected and interpreted, we should see that patient satisfaction rises because patients feel a bigger sense of responsibility in their own care. Some patients have commented that hourly rounding made them feel more important. Patients need to feel like the center of their care and feel like their opinions truly matter. Hourly rounding is going to help hospitals achieve that goal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Agency for Health care Research and Quality, approximately 700,000 to 1 million patients fall in hospitals annually (Ferenc, 2014). Patient safety and fall prevention are a top priority for nursing. Hourly or purposeful rounding has been suggested as an intervention to combat patient falls. Research shows that hourly rounding reduces patient falls, decreases call light use and helps to improve patient satisfaction scores. A systematic review of literature was conducted to determine the effectiveness of hourly rounding in preventing patient falls as oppose to no rounding or current clinical practices. Fifteen peer-reviewed research articles on the subject were examined, including 13 quantitative or qualitative studies and two literature review studies. Overall, based on the research, hourly rounding helped to reduce patient falls. Therefore, hourly rounding should be incorporated into nursing work flow as an evidence-based best practice.
