Leadership Rounding: Improving Frontline Nurse Satisfaction
<p>The amount of time nurse managers and senior leadership spend with frontline or bedside staff impacts their ability to empower, engage and retain staff. Improving nurse satisfaction in relationship to teamwork, perception of senior leadership and attitude about direct management should be a …

Vertex sparsification and universal rounding algorithms
Suppose we are given a gigantic communication network, but are only interested in a small number of nodes (clients). There are many routing problems we could be asked to solve for our clients. Is there a much smaller network - that we could write down on a sheet of paper and put in our pocket - …

Purposeful Hourly Rounding on the Medical Unit
… that the implementation of purposeful hourly rounding in a clinical setting will effectively decrease call light usage thereby improving patient satisfaction. Rounding of patients will be done hourly by CNA’s and RN’s. During rounding, pain, toileting, Positioning and personal needs of the …

Analysing rounding data using radial basis function neural networks model
… practices used in a data collection may create rounding to certain ‘based’ number that can have serious consequences on data quality. Statistical methods for analysing missing data are commonly used to deal with the issue but it could actually aggravate the problem. Rounded data are not missing …

Mapping Current Adult Intensive Care Unit Patient Care Rounding Practices
… objective of this thesis was to describe current rounding practices in a sample of Canadian adult ICUs. A prospective observational study consisting of a national survey and follow up interviews was undertaken. ICU rounding practices were found to be heterogeneous across the country and overall …

Barriers Encountered by Nurses and Nursing Assistants that Prevent Purposeful Rounding
… (NAs) that prevent purposeful (hourly) rounding.</p> <p><strong>Background:</strong> The literature has shown that purposeful rounding improves patient outcomes and safety. However, few studies show the barriers encountered by nursing staff that hinder the purposeful rounding …

Beta bias in low-priced stocks due to trading price rounding
… constraint placed upon it by one eighth price rounding are explicitly stated. Alternative rounding procedures are presented and their implications discussed. In the next section the characteristics of the rounding functions are discussed. Finally, expressions for the amount of bias in beta …

An ethnographic study to understand the patient and nurse experience of rounding
BackgroundNurse rounding has been widely practiced in the UK since 2012, transferred from the US as a nursing intervention which positively impacts on patient outcomes. Current evidence highlighted a dominance of quantitative studies tentatively linking rounding to impact measures of reduced falls, …

Evaluation of Clinical Pharmacy Impact on Multiple Internal Medicine Teams Utilizing Alternative Rounding Strategies
… meeting the needs of both assigned teams (e.g. rounding and medication reconciliation). Various methods were proposed including alternative rounding model. There are limited studies investigating different rounding models to accommodate multiple teams per pharmacist. Objective: To determine the …

Parameter estimation for series observed with round-off error
… of measurement error almost always present is rounding error. A procedure is proposed for estimating parameters of a finite moving average time series which is observed only after rounding. Method of moments estimators are proposed for estimation of parameters of time series observed with …

A computational study of a geometric embedding of minimum multiway cut
… gave a geometric relaxation of the problem and a rounding scheme, to produce an approximation algorithm that has a performance guarantee of 3/2 - 1/k. In a subsequent study, Karger, Klein, Stein, Thorup, and Young discovered improved rounding schemes via computation experiments for various values …

IMPROVING COMMUNICATION AND SATISFACTION THROUGH HOURLY ROUNDS
… that the unit would benefit from improved rounding and proof of the actual rounding with education on patient-centered rounds and a bedside checklist to document practice. At the time of implementation, the hospital had a crisis which monopolized all teaching, changes, and focus in order to …

Sound Radiated from Turbulent Flow over Two and Three-Dimensional Surface Discontinuities
… is shown to exhibit effects of non-compactness. Rounding the step corner results in consistent drop in sound levels but the directivity of the sound field remains unchanged. The sound from gaps is dominated by the forward step component and remains unaffected by rounding of the backward step …
