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.

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: The implementation of nurse hourly rounding can have a significant impact on decreasing the incidence of patient's falls and it heightens for their safety. It is not uncommon for hospitals to report incidence of accidental falls in which these types of incidents is costly to hospitals revenue but more importantly their patients suffer the undue strain on their physical and mental health. The main goal for all institutions is to incorporate for measures and or intervention to help decrease this incidence of falls and increase for their safety. Hospital's administrators, broad members and all stakeholders must pull together to find a solution to help increase the safety for all of their patients. Research studies have indicated the main reason patients fall where due trying to meet their needs. Evidence base research studies highly recommended the usage of nurse hourly rounding. This practice has shown a significant decrease in patients falls in which enhances for their safety at all times. The process calls for all healthcare providers to work together as a team to reach the goal for patient safety around the clock. The practice of nurse hourly rounding helps nurses to assess their patients plus it methodically addressees on meeting the patient's individual needs. This system empowers for patients and nurses to build on a trusting relationship in which it increase patients satisfaction for they can rely on their assign nurse to deliver good quality care for they are reassured that they will return hourly to assist them with their needs. In order for this proven intervention to be successful it is vital for hospital's to educate the healthcare team on the practice of nurse hourly rounding and its main objective is increasing the safety of all patients. This implementation can be conducted in a time frame from three to six months and nurse managers along with charge nurse can evaluate their staff on the usage of this measure in order to stay in compliance for its outcome to be effective in delivering safe quality care. Nurse hourly rounding is a proven evidence base practice that can deliver for patient's safety during their hospital stay.

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: In an effort to meet patient needs, improve patient satisfaction scores, decrease call light usage, prevent nursing burn out, and maintain patients safe, many hospitals across the country have started implementing hourly nurse rounds. Rounding with the purpose of checking on patients every our around the clock. Studies have proven that by doing hourly rounds patient falls decrease, because their needs are being addressed and met in a timely manner. Research also has shown that rounding will allow for the nursing staff to set expectations and goals the patients' and family members as well as planning for their care. When nurses check on patients, their focus is to address the 4 Ps, positioning, potty (elimination needs), pain, and possessions (proximity of personal belongings). (Halm, 2009) At the time of admission, patients and their family members will be informed of the hourly rounding process in order to set realistic expectations of the plan of care. Research performed in 14 hospitals has found that by setting these goals, the use of call lights have decreased by 37%, patient falls decreased by 52%, and patient satisfaction scores increased by 12%. (Stanford Medicine, 2015).

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 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: According to researched studies, there is a correlation between alarm fatigue and the decreased numbers in patient satisfaction. Nurses have become desensitized to the alarms occurring, and only answering to the alarms and not to the patient themselves. This is a proposal for the unit to serve as a experimental in-service for the rest of the hospital to increase the patient satisfaction, decrease falls and pressure ulcer numbers by promoting the use patient rounding. Nurses will be tested on their knowledge of the equipment alarms around the unit, furthermore will be reeducated on the use of the monitors' alarms, the charting system in which hourly rounding is intended, and a patient satisfaction survey to aid the unit to have a reputable standing in the community and for hospital reimbursement.
Book Synopsis The Effect of Hourly Rounding on Reducing Call Light Usage Pressure Sores and Falls in Hospitalized Patients by : Barbara Sheriff
Download or read book The Effect of Hourly Rounding on Reducing Call Light Usage Pressure Sores and Falls in Hospitalized Patients written by Barbara Sheriff and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hourly rounding has been trialed and implemented in hospitals across the country. Rounding hourly on patients benefits the patients, the patient's family and hospital staff. For patients hourly rounding gives them a feeling of security because they know their nurse will see them every hour. Patient's families feel reassured that it is safe to leave their loved one at the hospital because the nurse will see them every hour. For nurses hourly rounding affords them an opportunity to spend quality time with their patients which helps develop a sense of trust between the patient and the nurse. Hourly rounding has been shown to decrease call light usage, falls and pressure sores as well as increase patient satisfaction. 'Margo A. Halm, RN, PhD, CNS-BC, director of nursing research and quality at Salem Hospital in Oregon, reviewed 11 hourly rounding studies and reported in a 2009 American Journal of Critical Care article that 83 percent of studies examined showed a reduction in call lights, 77 percent a decrease in fall rates and 88 percent an improvement in patient satisfaction' (Wood, 2014, para. 8). 'Swanson's Nursing Care Theory supports the purposed use of hourly rounding as it centers on practices that promote patient satisfaction and safety by focusing on the connection between caring processes and patient well-being and outcomes' (Tongues, Ray, 2011, pages374). Hourly rounding was introduced previously at this facility but the implementation was poorly received by nurses. In an effort to reintroduce hourly rounding, a team will be formed to champion the process, a presentation to the stakeholders will be done outlining the plan as well as the costs involved, and ongoing education will be provided for nursing as well as tools to aid the nurse in incorporating hourly rounding into their daily routines. Weekly meetings with a specific agenda will be held encouraging staff feedback on how the hourly rounding trial is proceeding. At the end of the trial period an assessment will be given to each nurse seeking their ideas and any new problems that need to be addressed. The team will evaluate data from the meetings, patient's comments and any occurrence reports concerning falls and pressure sores and call light usage information obtained from the facilities call light system. This information will be shared with the stake holders as well as nursing staff. As the nursing shortage increases, hospitals as well as nursing leaders are searching for ways to provide quality care, enhance patient safety and satisfaction and to increase nurse's satisfaction. 'Hourly patient rounding proposes to be one answer to both patient and nurse satisfaction' (Wood, 2014, para.6).

Book excerpt: Hourly rounding on inpatients in the hospital setting is an evidence-based practice that increases patient satisfaction and increases patient safety. Evidence from both quantitative and qualitative research studies support this nurse-driven, patient-centered practice. For institutions that have successfully implemented hourly rounding, data from both Press Ganey and the National Data Base of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) is reflective of an increase in overall patient satisfaction, decrease in fall rates and a decrease in hospital acquired pressure ulcers (HAPUs). Hospitals face challenges in all of these areas and are always looking for ways to improve their scores and improve patient outcomes. In institutions that have implemented hourly rounding and have not seen an improvement in their scores or patient outcomes, it may be time to go back and make sure hourly rounding was properly implemented and is being supported by nursing leadership and management. Ownership and by in of this evidence-based practice by the nursing staff is the key driver to the success of this practice change.

Book excerpt: Use of hourly rounding has been implemented in most hospitals for many years, however, evidence has shown that it continues to not only be met with resistance but there is a need for Continued education due to a large number of the senior nurses retiring and new nurses with an Associate's Degree of Nursing who have not had education in the area of evidence-based practice. Initial studies showed that hourly rounding not only improved patient satisfaction rates and decreased patient falls but also increased the amount of reimbursement for the hospital. In the last year Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital has experienced an increase in patient falls. Although new nurses are oriented to the policy and procedure of hourly rounding, there is no education on the reasoning of why this practice has been implemented or how it is beneficial not only to the nurse but also to the facility. Implementing Continued education into the bi-annual skills fair would help to not only provide meaning of evidence-based practice but will also help nursing staff to have a clear understanding of why it is part of their daily routine. This proposal will include an implementation plan and give a clear picture of the resources and tools needed to make this plan a success. Once this plan has been implemented for the time of one year there will be a re-evaluation on the comfort levels of the staff with hourly rounding and data will be collected on the number of documented falls that have or have not occurred during this time. The goal of this presentation is to improve patient safety and improve overall staff satisfaction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient care, safety and satisfaction are top priority for the health care team when providing in-patient care. Patients must be monitored and cared well to improve their health conditions and to avoid further complications during hospital stay. Risk of hospitalized patients fall is the most concern for nurses. Hospital acquired new incidents like patient fall and pressure ulcers has a negative impact on patient recovery, causes lengthy hospital stay, financial burden for hospitals and increases nursing burnouts. Patients with stroke are at high risk for fall. In earlier studies it is found that 14% of the stroke patients fell at least once during their hospital admission (Tutuarima, Meulen, and Limburg, 2012). Frequent monitoring of the patients by nurses can prevent never events. But nurses attempt to be proactive on avoiding these issues are impaired by factors like high patient ratios, lack of time , frequent call lights and stress from meeting the patients demands. Planned hourly rounding is a proactive approach to patient care. Hourly rounding reduces patient fall, skin break downs, call light use, noise level and also improve patient satisfaction. Studies on hourly rounding to increase the patient safety and patient satisfaction showed a 52% decline in call light use after implementing hourly rounding and unit was quiet and nurses could spend more time for patient care and logs (Ford, 2010). Intentional rounding researches showed significant reduction in fall rate with one hour rounding. With the implementation of hourly rounding on the stroke and cardiac inpatient unit of the Texas Health Resources Hospital, the purpose is to prevent unwanted events and to improve patient satisfaction and safety.

Book excerpt: According to documented studies, hourly nurse rounding is an effective tool that incorporates the intentional checking on a patient and proactively addressing their needs. Research articles indicate that hourly nurse rounding reduces patient fall and the use of the call light; this shows increased patient safety and satisfaction. Research articles also indicated that hourly nurse rounding was instrumental in documenting low nurse vacancy rates; this shows increased employee satisfaction. Health care workers in documented studies stated improvement in teamwork and communication and as positive feedback was received from the patients, the nurses became more engaged. Implementing an hourly nurse rounding program can potentially provide these positive outcomes for the patients and the health care workers.
