Overview
Overview
Hourly rounding is a systematic, nurse-driven evidence-based process designed to anticipate and address the needs of hospital patients. Hospital patients often need assistance with basic tasks, such as using the bathroom, eating, bathing, and ambulating. Nurses' responsiveness to patients' needs is a key factor patients often consider when making judgments about the quality of their care. This module provides nurses and nurse leaders with an understanding of hourly rounding's purpose and process, and tips for implementation and success. It discusses the types of rounding: introductory rounds, initial rounds, and hourly rounds, and the key behaviors in each.
