(Press-News.org) A study led by researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus reveals patients and providers have more positive overall care experiences when the entire healthcare team is a part of bedside interdisciplinary rounds (BIDR).
The study published today in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
The study found that BIDR, when the team meets at a patients’ bedside in the hospital to discuss care plans, helps build trust between patients and their healthcare providers and within healthcare teams by allowing everyone to observe and work together more closely.
“Traditional interdisciplinary rounds (IDR) consist of a clinical care team that coordinates a patient’s care together to help promote collaboration in hospitals. BIDR takes this process a step further by taking the team to the bedside and involving patients and their families,” said Katarzyna Mastalerz, MD, lead author and associate professor of hospital medicine at University of Colorado School of Medicine. “BIDR transforms this traditional healthcare model by fostering trust through transparent communication, team collaboration and patient-centered care where every voice is heard, and every goal can be shared.”
The study interviewed 14 patients and 18 members of a interdisciplinary teams that included nurses, pharmacists and care coordinators.
Patients who participated in BIDR expressed positive feelings about being involved in their healthcare plans, which enhanced their trust in providers. Healthcare professionals reported improved respect and trust among colleagues, which contributed to better patient care.
While results were mostly promising, patients and providers said there is room for improvement to make the process more streamlined.
For example, some patients reported being uncomfortable due to the use of technical jargon and unclear communication regarding their treatment plans. Meanwhile, the providers said they faced challenges related to lack of supportive structures for interprofessional collaboration and lengthy presentations by physicians.
“To build effective BIDR, we suggest healthcare teams use transparency by sharing goals with patients, employing accessible patient-centered language, clearly delineating team roles for each team member, and actively addressing team input in real time” said Mastalerz. “With the professional siloes and hectic workflow that often characterize hospitals, it’s especially important for hospital leadership to recognize, support, and create opportunities for collaborative work by interprofessional teams.”

Gold bugs: spectacular new fossil arthropod preserved in fool’s gold
Images available via link in the notes section
A new 450-million-year-old fossil arthropod, preserved in 3D by iron pyrite (fool’s gold), has been unveiled by scientists.
The new species, Lomankus edgecombei, is distantly related to spiders, scorpions, and horseshoe crabs.
The findings have been published today (29 Oct) in the journal Current Biology.
A team of researchers led by Associate Professor Luke Parry, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, have unveiled a spectacular ...
Optimal standing positions and ventilation in airport smoking lounges
2024-10-29
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, 2024 – While many smoking rooms in U.S. airports have closed in recent years, they are still common in other airports around the world. These lounges can be ventilated, but how much does it actually help the dispersion of smoke?
Research published in Physics of Fluids, by AIP Publishing, shows that not all standing positions in airport smoking lounges are created equal.
Researchers from the University of Hormozgan in Iran studied nicotine particles in a simulated airport smoking room and found that the thermal environment and positioning of smokers influenced how particles ...
Ancient gene influences immunity of First Nations Peoples of Oceania
2024-10-29
AURORA, Colo. (Oct. 29, 2024) – An ancient gene mutation among First Nations inhabitants of Oceania may make them more susceptible to infectious diseases like influenza, according to a new study by scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
“We found quite a diverse set of genes in this population but there was one allele that really stood out in terms of genetic composition,” said the study’s lead author Paul Norman, PhD, professor of biomedical informatics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. “We did some investigating, and we suspect this allele ...
The Megacheiran candidate: Fossil hunters strike gold with new species
2024-10-29
New Haven, Conn. — Paleontologists have identified fossils of an ancient species of bug that spent the past 450 million years covered in fool’s gold in central New York.
The new species, Lomankus edgecombei, is a distant relative of modern-day horseshoe crabs, scorpions, and spiders. It had no eyes, and its small front appendages were best suited for rooting around in dark ocean sediment, back when what is now New York state was covered by water.
Lomankus also happens to be bright gold — thanks to layers of pyrite ...
Advanced biodegradable plastics run rings around their predecessors
2024-10-29
Osaka, Japan—Achieving a sustainable society requires the development of advanced degradable plastics, or polymers, which are molecules composed of long chains of repeating units. The goal of a resource-circulating society is now one step closer thanks to the efforts of a team from Osaka University that has developed tough biodegradable plastics by including movable crosslinking groups.
In a study published this month in Chem, the researchers have revealed that developing polymers with movable crosslinks not only increases their strength but also promotes degradation by enzymes under mild conditions.
Plastics and polymers need to achieve both desirable performance ...
Suicide-related emergencies underdetected among minority, male youth, and preteens, study finds
2024-10-29
A new study by UCLA Health reveals that hospital emergency departments may be missing signs of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children, boys and Black and Hispanic youth.
The research, published in the journal JAMA Open Network, analyzed electronic health records of nearly 3,000 children and teenagers presenting to two emergency departments in southern California for mental health reasons. Using machine learning algorithms, the researchers determined standard medical record surveillance methods miss youth with suicide-related emergencies. These methods disproportionately missed suicide-related visits among Black, Hispanic, male, and preteen youths, compared with ...

This study aimed to systematically explore the molecular mechanism of SFJD in the treatment of influenza using network pharmacology and bioinformatics techniques.
Methods
The active ingredients of SFJD were retrieved from traditional Chinese medicine databases, and their targets were identified using the Swiss Target Prediction and TCMSP databases. Influenza disease genes were obtained from the GEO, GeneCards, and DisGeNET ...
Treating severe calcification with an atherectomy device does not improve cardiac stenting outcomes, study finds
2024-10-29
Routine use of an orbital atherectomy device to remove calcium from severely blocked coronary arteries before patients undergo cardiac stenting procedures does not improve outcomes, a Mount Sinai-led study has found.
The results of the ECLIPSE study were announced during a late-breaking trial presentation at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics Annual Meeting on Tuesday, October 29. This is the first large-scale study to study this specific device in severely calcified lesions, and the results support reserving its use for extreme cases.
“Operators across the United States currently have different thresholds ...
