Aim:
This study's aim was to improve our understanding of the impact of pre-round meetings before ward rounds on hospital wards.
Design:
Qualitative study.
Method:
Focus group interviews were conducted with nurses and doctors.
Results:
Participants reported that pre-round meetings provide opportunities for interdisciplinary cooperation and have a positive impact on the quality of treatment and care. These meetings offer a forum for health professionals to develop a shared understanding and to convey congruent information to the patient. However, there may be reasons for omitting the pre-round meetings before ward rounds on wards with acute admissions and high patient turnover. Continuity of those attending the meetings and attendance by consultants are needed for timely decision-making and hence, successful pre-round meetings. If health trusts establish systems promoting successful pre-round meetings, the quality of treatment received by patients has potential for improvement.
