Learn how Sentact is helping hospitals create a culture of safety. Read Leaders bring credibility to the practice of hospital rounding from SBNonline.com.
Here is the intro:
While weekly safety rounds demonstrate an organization’s commitment to safety, leadership walk rounds are an opportunity to further reinforce that promise by bringing managers and leaders out of their offices and onto the hospital floor, says Mark Hudson, Strategic Accounts Manager at Sentact.
When used together, these two rounding practices help to create a safer environment for everyone.
“Our customers have found that if the individuals at the top level are also performing rounds, not only will it provide buy-in so your nurse managers continue to do those weekly safety rounds, but your patients get to see the administration of the hospital and see that they care and that they are listening,” Hudson says. “These interactions can only help in the effort to continuously improve patient care at every level of the organization.”
Smart Business spoke with Hudson about how to work with your team to help them understand the value of these rounding practices.
