Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to improve workflow efficiency for pediatric hospital medicine teams, targeting criteria such as nursing presence during rounds, timely completion of rounds, and timely attending notes.
- A multidisciplinary approach was used, focusing on shared expectations, enhanced communication, and streamlined processes through various interventions like huddles, reminders, and real-time notifications.
- As a result, the percentage of teams meeting all efficiency criteria increased from 28% to 61%, with notable improvements in nursing presence and round completion times, although timely completion of attending notes remained challenging.
