Abstract

Federal regulations have shifted healthcare systems to focus more on providing quality of care rather than quantity of care. Patient experiences that include nursing communication are important quality measures that have positive impact on satisfaction ratings. The project used nurse bundling strategies (Acknowledge, Introduce, Duration, Explanation, Thank You [AIDET], purposeful/hourly rounding, and bedside shift report) guided by servant leadership principles to improve patients' experiences and overall hospital quality of care experiences. Pre and post education on the bundling approach and servant leadership theory and principles, registered nurses in the emergency department completed an electronic, 23-item Servant Leadership Questionnaire (SLQ) survey and were also observed for eight weeks using validated measurement tools from the Studer Group.
