Effect of patient-centred bedside rounds on hospitalised patients' decision control, activation and satisfaction with care.

Importance: Though interprofessional bedside rounds have been promoted to enhance patient-centred care for hospitalised patients, few studies have been conducted in adult hospital settings and evidence of impact is lacking.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of patient-centred bedside rounds (PCBRs) on measures of patient-centred care.

Design And Setting: Cluster randomised controlled trial involving four similar non-teaching hospitalist service units in a large urban hospital.

Improving teamwork: impact of structured interdisciplinary rounds on a hospitalist unit.

Background: Effective collaboration and teamwork is essential in providing safe and effective care. Research reveals deficiencies in teamwork on medical units involving hospitalists.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of an intervention, Structured Inter-Disciplinary Rounds (SIDR), on nurses' ratings of collaboration and teamwork.

Non-housestaff medicine services in academic centers: models and challenges.

Non-housestaff medicine services are growing rapidly in academic medical centers (AMCs), partly driven by efforts to comply with resident duty hour restrictions. Hospitalists have emerged as a solution to providing these services given their commitment to delivering efficient and high-quality care and the field's rapid growth. However, limited evidence is available on designing these services, including the similarities and differences of existing ones.
