In an effort to improve the quality of care across all of our ICU pods, we have been performing a trial of multi-disciplinary “Quality Rounds.” \u00a0Based upon the most recent feedback from all the caregiver disciplines, efficiency of quality rounds has been a concern.<\/p>\n
At the most recent ICU collaborative meeting, we decided to modify the Quality Rounds so that they would occur in a single location in the morning, “huddle” style. \u00a0Each caregiver domain will be in charge of bringing relevant information to the huddle. \u00a0Eventually, large dry erase boards will be used to keep track of everything. \u00a0For now, we can continue using the following form to track each domain:\u00a0Quality Rounds List<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n – Mobility: Mobility goal for the day – use Level<\/p>\n – Nutrition: Diet info<\/p>\n – Nurse: Central lines\/foley information<\/p>\n – Pharmacy: Chlorhex, DVT prophy, PUD prophy, sedation protocol<\/p>\n -RT: SBT success<\/p>\n – MD: Runs rounds; enters any of the above into EPIC for real time followthrough (medication or nursing order)<\/p>\n Rounding times. Schedule per pod:<\/strong><\/p>\n MORNING: Make sure previous day’s list is available for reference. – Pod 4: Start at 8am.<\/p>\n – Pod 5: Start at 830 AM<\/p>\n AFTERNOON As usual, this process is not set in stone. \u00a0We hope to continually reassess and improve. \u00a0Your feedback is important. Please let me know what works and what isn’t working so that we can refine. \u00a0I truly appreciate your collaboration and hope that you agree that this process will benefit all of our patients.<\/p>\n Mike Mendez<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In an effort to improve the quality of care across all of our ICU pods, we have been performing a trial of multi-disciplinary “Quality Rounds.” Based upon the most recent feedback from all the caregiver disciplines, efficiency of quality rounds has been a concern.

\n– Pods 1-3: Starts in Pods 1-2 back hallway<\/strong> at 8am. \u00a0Start with Pod 1 patients at 8AM, then Pod 3, then Pod 2. \u00a0This order allows for Pod 3 nursing leader to be present between 815AM-8:20AM to complete all Pod 3 patients.<\/p>\n
\n-All pods start at 3pm. Fellow, nurse, and mobility. \u00a0Goal is to ensure that follow through has occurred on all items on the rounding tool. \u00a0To do list generated in AM can be used to do targetted followup to check for deficincies.<\/p>\n
