Based on research studies, patient safety and outcomes is increased with the use of hourly rounding. This project is a review of literature regarding the impact of hourly rounding on call light use, patient satisfaction, and safety with a primary focus on falls in an acute care setting. It is proposed that use of purposeful hourly rounding will increase both patient safety and decrease use of call lights if implementation includes the use of theory of planned behavior, which would impact both patient and nursing staff behavior. The implementation plan set forth in this project is not one of new design. It is one of modified design which relies heavily on implementation research studies allowing for an understanding of what can be improved so that professional behaviors already in place will be more streamlined. The evaluation plan has reasoning as well as tools to be used in the process of piloting the program allowing for improvement before dissemination to other facilities for a larger scale impact.
