Abstract:
Person-centred, safe and effective care is at the heart of the fundamentals of caring. However, there are many challenges to achieving this reliably and consistently. This article describes one nursing team's experience of implementing 'care and comfort' rounds, which has led to proactive rather than reactive nursing care delivery. The number of patient falls and the use of call buzzers have reduced, patient experience has been enhanced, a more controlled environment is provided for patients, and staff satisfaction in care delivery has improved.
