A Family-Centered Rounds Checklist, Family Engagement, and Patient Safety: A Randomized Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Family-centered rounds (FCRs) have become standard of care, despite the limited evaluation of FCRs' benefits or interventions to support high-quality FCR delivery.

Random effects regression models were used to
