Hello, and happy spring. Our hospital has now initiated that  the staff rn
do purposeful rounding ( hourly rounding) every shift. The reason is to
enhance patient satisfaction, reduce falls,reduce the numbers of calls to
the desk, reduce noise level,  reduce pain and prevent bed sores. IN the ob
unit some of these issues are less of a concern, but we do have falls, pain,
dissatisfied customers, noise, and calls to the desk.  . Well, my question
is to the lc's who do purposeful rounding , what do you do to reduce patient
dissatisfaction.. when you want to assess a infant feeding and infant has
just been fed, and you tell the mother to call nurse to page you and they
forget,so that the  next time you see them  if at all the infant has just
been fed. Do you make appointments? do you put up a sign that says "call lc
for feeding, please" Any suggestions are appreciated. thank you Germaine
