19. The Patient Experience SMILE In order for our patients to have a great experience, our staff need to be happy themselves. “So what would make our co-workers happy?”

20. SMILE Partner Rounding Expectations Be Present During your dedicated time, remain free from distractions. Avoid answering emails, phone calls, etc. Be Prompt Do not arrive late and stay attentive for the entire length of the dedicated time Dress the Part Adhere to the dress code of the discipline with which you are partnering Play the Part Engage in active participation

21. SMILE Each manager will partner with one co-worker from each discipline within his or her department/unit. The manager will dedicate time with the co-worker to observe and actively participate in all tasks and duties. The duration will be for a total of two hours per month. To meet this expectation, managers may utilize the time currently dedicated for leader rounding. Once all disciplines have been observed, the manager will cycle back to the initial discipline and partner with a different co-worker within that discipline as part of a continuous cycle.

27. SMILE Care Rounding Care Rounds are designed to improve patient safety and the patient experience. Care Rounding addresses patient needs that otherwise would prompt their use of call lights. Intentional, hourly rounding on patients has been cited in the literature to help reduce falls, pressure ulcers, and call light use, and contributes to significant improvements in patient satisfaction with nursing. Reference: Studer Group (2006). AHC Research Call Light Study. Hourly Rounding, developed by Studer group, the largest study ever focused on the impact of rounding, www.studergroup.com
