Interprofessional bedside rounds have been promoted as a way to enhance patient-centeredness, but their benefits remain unclear. This randomized trial of patient-centered bedside rounding found no differences in patient satisfaction outcomes. Nurses perceived bedside rounds to improve communication, but physicians did not. This raises questions about the benefits of patient-centered bedside rounds as a way to improve patient satisfaction and suggests further research is needed to identity methods to augment patient-centered care.
