Engaging Families in Bedside Rounds to Promote Pediatric Patient Safety
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Family-centered rounds checklist tool for Child, Hospitalized and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 340 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this study is to develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention designed to facilitate family engagement during bedside rounds at a children's hospital. The intervention consists of a "checklist" of key behaviors associated with the delivery of quality family-centered rounds, as well as training in the use of the checklist tool. In a pre-post controlled design, two hospital services will be randomized to use the checklist while two others will be randomized to usual care. The intervention is expected to increase to the performance of key checklist behaviors, family engagement, and family perceptions of patient safety.
