Abstract
Interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) was recommended to improve siloed and fragmented patient care. The Institute of Medicine recommended nurses lead this change through innovative models of patient-centered care and IPCP participation. One strategy to improve patient experience is rounding. This project presents a nurse-led interprofessional bedside rounding model to improve communication and collaboration between providers and with patients on a complex inpatient unit. Outcomes were analyzed using Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores to examine patient experience. Postimplementation results demonstrate an increase in HCAHPS patient experience scores for this patient population above hospital and national average.
