Interventions to Improve Patient Care on Surgical Ward Rounds: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ward rounds are an essential component of surgical and perioperative care. However, the relative effectiveness of different interventions to improve the quality of surgical ward rounds remains uncertain. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the efficacy of various ward round interventions among surgical patients.

Methods

A systematic literature search of the MEDLINE (OVID), EMBASE (OVID), Scopus, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL), and PsycInfo databases was performed on 7 October 2022 in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. All studies investigating surgical ward round quality improvement strategies with measurable outcomes were included. Data were analysed via narrative synthesis based on commonly reported themes.
