What Is Intentional Rounding? • An approach to checking on patients needs • The rounding happens every 1-2 hours & is undertaken by the responsible nursing staff • Specific questions are asked and needs met • It is for the ward to test and implement a system in which intentional rounding works for them – an important part of nursing duties
Why Do It? • Reduced call bells by 37.8% • Reduced miles walked by nurses by 1.6 • Reduced falls by 50% • Reduced pressure ulcers by 14% • Improved patient satisfaction scores Studer Group’s Alliance for Health Care Strategy (AHCS) research
Concerns & Challenges • Tick box exercise • Reduction in autonomy • “Mithering” patients • Time-consuming • Too much focus on process rather than philosophy • Seeing the patient reliably every hour is good thing
Next Steps • Ensure reliability • Ensure meaning • What matters most? • Reviewing the process • Community rounding
Nursing and Care Quality Forum • The forum will seek out good practice, and advise on implementation. • The prime focus will be to exhibit national leadership to stimulate local action by those delivering care to address problems and promote the improvements needed across services. • The forum will have its own independent chair • Membership that brings diversity in knowledge, expertise and interest. • It will be expected to use research, establish an evidence base, listen to a wide range of views and synthesise best practice.
Workstreams • Empowered and accountable nurse leadership • Time to Care • Right culture, right values • Involve, listen to, hear
