Abstract
Communication is vital in healthcare. Ineffective communication has been often cited as one of the root causes of patient harm. Interdisciplinary rounding (IDR); a structured framework for communication between multiple disciplines, the patient, and family, has been shown to increase communication and thus improve quality outcomes. The current communication and provider practices of individual assessments, as opposed to a team approach, contributed to poor communication and suboptimal quality outcomes within the project unit. This quality improvement project utilized interdisciplinary rounding as an intervention to improve communication and quality outcomes.
