00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,120
I love seeing my doctors and care team
every day on rounds,

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,120
but I find a big group of people
talking about me really scary.

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:07,200
What can I do?

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,680
Great question.

5
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:13,080
Family-centred rounds are when a group
of multidisciplinary care providers

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,480
move from patient to patient to discuss
the patient's daily plan of care.

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,520
It's really important that patients
and families are part of this process

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,000
to provide input
and to ensure we're all on the same page.

9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,480
During the COVID 19 pandemic.

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,800
CHEO moved entirely from an in-person
and family-centred

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,720
rounds to a virtual family-centred
rounds process.

12
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,800
We evaluated this virtual rounds process
to see

13
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,200
what our patients, families
and care team providers thought about it.

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,920
During the study, 62 rounds were observed,
virtually 35 were observed in-person,

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,920
and 104 questionnaires were completed
by providers, patients and families.

16
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:52,440
We discovered that virtual family-centred
rounds works.

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,800
First, we can easily visualize
the steps involved in in-person rounds

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,880
by connecting with patients and families
in a shared virtual meeting

19
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,960
using tablets which the grand majority
found easy to use.

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,480
Second, most people felt safer
doing virtual rounds during the pandemic.

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,560
Most importantly,
almost all care team members felt

22
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,960
that virtual family-centred
around supported, shared decision making.

23
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,400
And three quarters of patients
and families

24
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,720
felt like valued members of their
or their child's care team.

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,320
Although CHEO has returned to an in-person
family-centred rounds process,

26
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,000
virtual family-centred
rounds are always available to be used

27
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,280
when needed to provide
inclusive and family-centred care.
