Interdisciplinary bedside rounds

Participants: MDRs are often brief "run the list" huddles between lead provider, case manager, and charge nurse, with a primary focus on discharge planning.

[12] In contrast, interdisciplinary bedside rounds aim to foster an integrated and collaborative approach to patient care.

During IBRs, the different professions engage in a collective dialogue, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition, needs, and care plan.

[14][13] MDRs, due to their absence of real-time, all-inclusive communication, can potentially result in missed cues, misinterpretations, and delays that negatively affect patient outcomes and satisfaction.

Conversely, IBRs aim to minimize these hazards by promoting shared decision-making,[15] enhancing interprofessional communication,[6] and placing the patient at the heart of their care.

SIBR follows a six-step process to create a shared mental model of who says what, when, and in what sequence when a care team enters the patient's room together.

The concept of SIBR was developed by hospitalist and quality expert Dr. Jason Stein and colleagues at Emory University Hospital in the early 2010s.

[26] The SIBR model and its inventors have won several US national awards from the Society of Hospital Medicine and attracted international attention.
