Comparative Approaches to Internal Medicine Ward Rounds: Impact on Patient Outcomes and Resident Training

Abstract

This paper aims to assess how various ward-round methods affect the care outcomes of the patients and the training of residents. Ward rounds are an important constituent of internal medicine, which affects the outcome of patients’ treatment as well as medical training. Because of this, the study aimed to determine the effects of traditional bedside, structured interdisciplinary rounds (SIRs), and patient-centered rounds that involved differences in patient satisfaction, clinical results, and improvements in the abilities of residents. The documents such as electronic health records and records of the resident’s performances were use in this study. The findings focus on those patient-centered rounds along with SIRs increased communication and patient satisfaction while Simulation-based training developed the clinical decision-making and skills of the nurses. These findings have demonstrated the significance of personalized ward round models for improving both patient care and educational outcomes.
