Asking a Variety of Questions on Walk Rounds: a Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Morning walk rounds have lost some of their engagement while remaining a useful and valued practice.

Aim

We created a pilot study to evaluate the impact on rounds of learning to asking a variety of different questions.

Setting

One-hour intervention sessions were voluntarily offered to members of the Department of Medicine and taught by an expert in the question, listen, and respond method.

Participants

Participants included attendings and residents in Internal Medicine on medical teams.

Program description

Questionnaires were collected on six pre-intervention and six post-intervention days. Nine months later, an anonymous online survey was sent to participants asking about their use of a wider variety of questions.
