Description
Elizabeth S Jarrett leads a 2026 survey study of a virtual rounding queue in a neonatal intensive care unit, where teams visit each baby's bedside in turn. Families and nurses often miss rounds because they cannot predict when the team will arrive. The software, called Q-rounds, sits inside the health record and tells nurses and families when to expect the team, in person or by phone.
Clinicians surveyed before and six weeks after the May 2023 launch perceived clear gains. Nurse and family presence on rounds rose sharply, as did perceived efficiency and satisfaction. Rounding duration felt unchanged. Open-ended replies matched the numbers. Better timing notice can make family-centered rounds workable, the authors conclude.
