Unleashing Collective Potential: The Power of Team-Based Leader Rounding in Elevating Patient Care

In 2024, the center revamped its rounding program by involving non-clinical and ancillary leaders, focusing on structure, support, and connections.

As a result, the hospital’s HCAHPS scores improved, rising to the top 20%, and staff reported greater engagement with their roles and patients.
