The Effect of Bedside Rounds on Learning Outcomes in Medical Education: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To determine if bedside rounds, compared with other forms of hospital ward rounds, improve learning outcomes in medical education.

Method

For this systematic review, the authors searched Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus from inception through February 20, 2020. Experimental studies were included if they (1) compared bedside rounds to any other form of rounds in a hospital-based setting, and (2) reported a quantitative comparison of a learning outcome (e.g., learner reaction, knowledge, skills, behavior, health care delivery) among physicians-in-training (medical students, residents, fellows). Extraction elements were summarized using descriptive statistics and a narrative synthesis of design, implementation, and outcomes.

Results
