Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The project will be implemented on one unit at a time until the co-rounding process has been implemented on each Medical-Surgical unit. This study will involve the geo-localized hospitalist on the designated unit and the nursing staff involved in clinical patient care

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patient experience top box scores as well as doctor and nurse domains will be evaluated retrospectively prior to project implementation and this evaluation will continue to be evaluated six months after IRB approval and project initiation. Baseline patient experience scores are routinely captured as a part of routine data collection practices via Press Ganey survey administration.

LOS and discharge times are also routinely collected as a part of routine data collection practices. LOS and average discharge times will be reviewed on an ongoing basis after project implementation to monitor for improvements.
