    JJ, I so liked your poster. I can relate to what a difference hourly rounding makes. Your graph displays the great difference it makes. I know as nurse that hourly rounding not only prevents falls but increases patient satisfaction in care.Hourly rounding is key in my practice to manage pain more efficiently. Many patients don’t call but instead wait for you to ask if they need medication. I have had so many post epidural patients that said they sure felt like they could walk to the bathroom but in reality they could not. Hourly rounding and supervising initial ambulation has saved a whole lot of injuries. Thanks also for being first to post.

    Jessica, Your poster looks awesome! The color combination is very eye catching and brings a person in to read it. There is great information on your poster for people to learn from. I was one that would always do hourly rounding with my patients, I know several others would not. This is a great topic, well done!

      You chose a good topic that is applicable to all inpatients facilities. You did a good systematic review of the research topic by showing us all the inclusion criteria for the studies. I like how you were able to relate your research topic to the nurse theorist you selected. Your poster is not overwhelming with graphics and they are applicable to your research topic. Overall, you did a good job on your poster.

    Jessica,

    You picked a great topic for not only nursing homes, but acute care. I work in pediatrics, we do not have that many falls as I experience in the adult setting but we still have them. Children in acute care are sometime mentally altered and you need to know how to keep them safe and also let the parents get rest as well. Hourly rounding is so important. At my current facility if a patient has IV fluids running continuously you must assess the IV every 1 hour which is helpful to perform safety round ever hour as well. You provided a good systemic research and report. You post is very informative and helpful for everyone. Safety is key in all care facilities. Hourly round not only keeps patients safe it also makes them know that you are there for them and they do not have to worry about not seeing you again for hours. This helps decrease questions and call light fatigue also because you have less calls if you do hourly rounding.
